A4.0×1010kg asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady 16 km/s. to save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. the rocket generates 5.0×109n of thrust. the rocket is fired when the asteroid is 4.0×106km away from earth. you can ignore the earth’s gravitational force on the asteroid and their rotation about the sun. part a: if the mission fails, how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth? part b: the radius of the earth is 6400 km. by what minimum angle must the asteroid be deflected to just miss the earth? part c: what is the actual angle of deflection if the rocket fires at full thrust for 300 s before running out of fuel?

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
