A satellite of mass m is launched vertically upwards with an initial speed sqrt((GM)/®) from the surface of the earth. After it reaches height R (R = radius of the earth), it ejects a rocket of mass m/10 in a direction opposite to the initial direction of the satellite, so that subsequently the satellite escapes to infinity. The minimum kinetic energy of the rocket at ejection needed is (G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the earth):

A small bead of mass m moving with velocity v gets threaded on a stationary semicircular ring of mass m and radius R kept on a horizontal table. The ring can freely rotate about its centre. The bead comes to rest relative to the ring. What will be the final angular velocity of the system?
