The document describes the steps taken by Team Alpha Male to analyze the speed of North Korean and United States missiles. They graphed best fit lines from missile distance data over time and found the point of intersection. The North Korean missile traveled about 35,405 km per day or 916 miles per hour, while the United States missile traveled about 40,233 km per day or 1,041 miles per hour. Potential errors included using the distance from Earth to the moon and rounding data. The missiles were found to intersect after 10.4 days at a distance of 232,323.5 km. Team members divided responsibilities for the calculator, algebra, research, and presentation.

Korean scientists fired a missile aimed at destroying the moon, so US scientists fired an interceptor missile to save it. By graphing the missile trajectories and calculating their intersection point and speeds, the group found the missiles would intersect over 6,000 miles from the moon in about 10 days, safely below the moon, so the moon was not threatened. Possible errors include inaccuracies in the best-fit lines, slopes, and intersection point calculations from the graphs.
Mars climate obiter failure
The Mars Climate Orbiter failed due to a metric-imperial unit conversion error. The spacecraft's software used metric units while ground teams entered data using imperial units, resulting in incorrect calculations that sent the orbiter too low into Mars' atmosphere, where it disintegrated. The failure was caused by human error in not ensuring consistent use of units across software and teams. It underscores the importance of strict protocols and training to prevent mistakes when using different measurement systems.
Failure of Mars Climate Orbiter
The Mars Climate Orbiter failed due to a mismatch between the units used by Lockheed Martin to calculate thruster firings and the units expected by NASA for navigation. Lockheed Martin used English units (pounds, feet, inches) while NASA expected metric units. As a result, trajectory correction maneuvers put the orbiter in a lower orbit than intended, and it burned up in the Martian atmosphere upon arrival. An investigation found the root cause was a failure in NASA's engineering systems and processes to detect the mismatch in units between the teams.
The shortest distance narrated
An orbit is the curved path an object takes around another object due to the balance between the pull of gravity and its inertia or forward motion. For an object in low Earth orbit, its forward motion of 5 miles per second exactly cancels out the downward pull of 32 feet per second due to gravity, allowing it to fall around the curved surface of the Earth. To achieve a higher or lower orbit, one needs to increase or decrease the object's inertia by firing rockets to change its speed. Sending objects straight up requires constant thrust to overcome gravity, while orbits use less fuel by using gravity to provide the curved trajectory.

An orbit is the curved path an object takes around another due to the balance between gravitational pull and its forward motion. Objects in low Earth orbit move forward at 5 miles per second while falling 32 feet per second due to gravity, resulting in a curved orbit. To achieve a higher or lower orbit, one must change the object's inertia by increasing or decreasing its speed. Sending objects straight up requires constant thrust, while orbits use less fuel as inertia keeps objects in motion. Orbits can be manipulated to intercept other celestial bodies like the Moon or planets using gravity-assisted maneuvers.
Earthquakes
Most earthquakes follow plate boundaries and large quakes of magnitude 7 or greater primarily occur along convergent plate boundaries. About 50% of large quakes happen within 100 miles and 70-75% are within 200 miles of these boundaries. Seismologists use new tools like satellites to detect infrared radiation and magnetic signals to better predict earthquake locations, with the area around Crete cited as being overdue for a significant quake.

2) Objects in low Earth orbit move forward at 5 miles per second while falling 32 feet per second due to gravity, resulting in a curved orbital path.
3) To reach other celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars, objects are placed into elliptical transfer orbits that use gravity to slingshot the object towards its destination using less fuel than a direct ascent.
9.4 - Orbital Motion & Kepler's third law
Kepler's 3rd law describes the relationship between the orbital period of a planet and the semi-major axis of its orbit. The square of the orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis. This relationship can be derived from the fact that centripetal force due to gravity must equal the gravitational force for an object to maintain a stable orbit. Graphs of the kinetic energy, potential energy, and total energy of an orbiting object help illustrate this relationship.

This document discusses earthquake data and distributions. It notes that earthquakes are distributed along boundary lines, particularly convergent boundaries near oceans. Convergent boundaries are associated with earthquakes over magnitude 7.0. 48% of large earthquakes occur within 100 miles of convergent boundaries, and 76% occur within 200 miles. Potential future earthquake locations are listed for California, Alaska, China, Chile, Peru, Italy, Russia, Japan, Kazakhstan, and Indonesia. New technology using satellites can detect earthquakes days or weeks before they occur.
Keplers laws
Kepler's Laws describe the motion of planets in our solar system. Kepler's First Law states that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses rather than perfect circles. Kepler's Second Law says that planets closer to the Sun move faster than those farther away. Kepler's Third Law establishes a relationship between a planet's orbital period and its distance from the Sun.
Laws of artificial satellites motion (Lecture 1)
This lecture covers the laws of motion governing artificial satellites. It discusses key concepts like orbital mechanics, Kepler's laws, and different types of satellite orbits such as low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and geostationary orbit. The lecture notes that satellites must travel at a minimum horizontal speed of 8000 m/s to achieve stable orbit and not fall back to Earth. It also explains factors that can perturb satellite orbits like non-spherical gravity and atmospheric drag.
Section 5
Rockets are able to lift off into space due to Newton's 3rd law of motion, which states that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Satellites are objects that orbit other objects in space, such as planets, due to centripetal force keeping them in orbit around the larger object. Satellites do not fall back to Earth because the horizontal velocity of their orbit around the Earth is great enough to counteract gravitational pull, allowing them to remain in a continuous orbit.
Digamon IT1(DK1) presentation

Physics chapter 7.3 and 8
The document discusses circular and planetary motion, including rotational inertia, centripetal force, Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Newton's universal law of gravitation, and how satellites are able to orbit Earth due to sufficient speed to outrun the curvature of the planet. It also covers gravitational fields, weightlessness in free fall, and the contributions of scientists such as Galileo, Kepler, Newton, and Einstein to the understanding of gravity and orbital mechanics. Examples are provided about rotational inertia in baseball bats and ice skaters spinning faster by pulling in their arms.
Keplers law
This document summarizes Kepler's laws of planetary motion, Newton's universal law of gravitation, and the formula for calculating gravitational acceleration. Specifically, it outlines Kepler's three laws including that planets orbit in ellipses, sweep out equal areas in equal time, and have periods proportional to semi-major axes. It also defines Newton's law that gravitational force between objects is directly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Finally, it shows the derivation of the gravitational acceleration formula using Newton's law and equating gravitational force to mass times acceleration.
Kepler's laws of planetary motion
Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe made accurate measurements of planetary positions which he shared with Johannes Kepler. Kepler found that Mars' orbit was elliptical rather than circular as previously believed. He developed his three laws of planetary motion based on Mars' orbit: 1) planets orbit in ellipses with the sun at one focus, 2) connecting swept areas equal over time, 3) the square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun. Kepler's laws helped Isaac Newton later establish his law of universal gravitation.
Path To Planets
Path to Planets (P2P) aims to address traveling to other planets by calculating the optimal paths from Earth. The project tackles determining Earth's orbit relative to other planets, the best launch windows from Earth, and time estimates for each path. Roy Salinas' calculations show Hohmann transfer orbits require the least energy to travel from Earth to Venus, Mars, and Jupiter. His results include the orbital positions of each planet during optimal launch windows from Earth, orbital characteristics like eccentricity and inclination, and estimated travel times. Further work is needed to refine the velocity calculations and consider orbital plane changes.
Kepler laws Notes
Kepler's laws describe the motion of planets:
1) Planets orbit the sun in ellipses with the sun at one focus.
2) A line connecting a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
3) The square of a planet's orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
Acceleration
This document discusses acceleration and its relationship to displacement, velocity, and time. It defines acceleration as the rate at which an object's velocity changes. Displacement is a change in position, velocity is the rate of change of displacement, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The human body can detect acceleration through changes in speed or direction but not constant velocity. Formulas are provided relating acceleration, change in velocity, and change in time. Free fall acceleration on Earth is 9.81 m/s^2 due to gravity.
Astronomy
Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects and phenomena outside the Earth's atmosphere, while astrology is the pseudoscience claiming to divine information about human affairs based on the positions of stars and planets. Early astronomers like Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, and Johannes Kepler made observations and developed models of the universe that established astronomy as a science. Galileo Galilei was one of the first to use a telescope to observe craters on the Moon, moons of Jupiter, and sunspots, advancing the field. Modern astronomers use powerful optical and space telescopes to study distant galaxies and probe deeper into space.

The course emphasizes accurate observation, measurement, and developing theories based on experimentation. It introduces significant figures and proper use of units in the International System of units. Examples are given for converting between common and SI units through useful approximations.

Kepler's Third Law relates the orbital period of a planet to the semi-major axis of its orbit, such that the square of the period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis.

It was developed by the United States Department of Defense for military navigation but is now used widely in civilian applications. GPS works by precisely timing the signals from at least four satellites to determine the user's three-dimensional position and time.
1-7 Displacement & Velocity
The document discusses displacement, velocity, and their relationship. It defines displacement as total distance traveled from an initial point and velocity as displacement divided by time. Displacement considers both distance and direction traveled, while velocity has a magnitude and direction. Speed only considers magnitude and does not include direction.

"A Closer Look at the Moon" by innis1ar
The document calculates the velocity needed to travel from Earth to the Moon using data on the distance and travel time for Apollo 11. It finds that Apollo 11's average velocity of 5,069 km/hr was less than the minimum velocity the Saturn V rocket could provide of 25,200 mph. Therefore, the math shows that Apollo 11 could have achieved the velocity needed to travel to the Moon based on the rocket's capabilities.
Math Presentation
The document summarizes a math presentation about calculating the collision point of North Korean and US missiles to save the moon. It lists group members and their roles, the procedure used involving graphing calculators and linear regression, and reports that the missiles will collide at a point (10.40664753, 232323.5464) only 0.267895586 days from the moon, with possible errors noted in the math.
The Nuclear Missile Crisis
CIA mathematicians analyzed the trajectory of a North Korean missile and US counter missile launched to intercept it. They graphed the distance traveled each day and calculated the line of best fit and average speed for each. Using the equations for the lines of best fit, they determined the missiles would intersect after 10.41 days at a distance of 232,323.55 miles from Earth, safely past the moon which is about 238,897 miles from Earth on average. They note errors in assuming constant speed and using center-to-center distances.
The Nuclear Missile Crisis
CIA mathematicians analyzed the trajectory of a North Korean missile and US counter missile launched in response. They graphed the distance traveled each day to determine the line of best fit and average speed for each. Using the equations for the lines of best fit, they calculated the missiles will intersect after 10.41 days at a distance of 232,323 miles from Earth. This is less than the 238,897 mile average distance to the moon, so the moon will be spared from any impact. Some margin of error exists since the lines of best fit are estimations and the missiles did not travel at a constant rate.
The Nuclear Missile Crisis
CIA mathematicians analyzed the trajectory of a North Korean nuclear missile and a US defensive missile launched to intercept it. They graphed the distance traveled by each missile over time and calculated the average speed. Using the line of best fit equations and substitution, they determined the missiles would intersect after 10.41 days at a distance of 232,323.55 miles from Earth, safely past the moon's average distance of 238,897 miles. Some error is possible since the missile paths are estimated and not constant.
Systems Webquest
The document provides steps to calculate the intersection point of paths for North Korean and American missiles traveling from Earth. It includes entering missile distance data into a statistics program to generate linear equations, graphing the lines of best fit, and using an intersection tool to find where the paths cross. The intersection point is reported along with calculations of missile speeds and the distance to the moon for comparison. Potential sources of error are also discussed.
