1. How fast does an object need to travel to stay in orbit for one second? 2. How fast does an object need to travel to stay in orbit for two seconds?
3. How fast does an object need to travel to stay in orbit for three seconds?
4. You may have noticed that the object needs to keep going faster and faster to stay in orbit. What is the average acceleration needed for the object to stay in orbit from 1–3 seconds?
5. In the real world, orbiting objects such as satellites do not need to be constantly accelerating. What is different about real-world satellites and the theoretical satellites?

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

(b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the tip of the blades at t=0s? (c) what is the magnitude and direction of the total linear acceleration of the tip of the blades at t=0s?
