The gravitational pull of the Earth and moon is important to us as we attempt to conquer more and more of outer-space. Here’s why.
As a rocket leaves the Earth,the pull of the Earth on it becomes less and less as the rocket roars out into space. If you imagine a line between the Earth the pull of the Earth and the moon,there is a point somewhere along that line,nearer to the moon than to the Earth,at which the gravitation pull of both the Earth and the moon on an object is just about equal. An object placed on the moon side of that point would be drawn to the moon. An object placed on the Earth side of that point would be drawn to the Earth. Therefore,a rocket need be sent only to this "point of no return" in order to get it to the moon. The moon’s gravity will pull it the rest of the way.
The return trip of the rocket to Earth is,in some ways,less of a problem. The Earth’s gravitational field reaches far closer to the moon than does the moon’s to Earth. Thus it will be necessary to fire an Earth-bound rocket only a few thousand miles away from the moon to reach a point where the rocket will drift to earth under the Earth’s gravitational pull.
The problem of rocket travel is not so much concerned with getting the rocket into space as it is with guiding the rocket after it leaves the Earth’s surface. Remember that the moon is constantly circling the Earth. A rocket fired at the moon and continuing in the direction in which it was fired would miss the moon by a wide margin and perhaps continue to drift out into space until "captured" in another planet’s gravitational field. To reach the moon,a rocket must be fired toward the point where the moon will be when the rocket has traveled the required distance. This requires precise calculations of the speed and direction of the rocket and of the speed and direction of the moon.
For a rocket to arrive at a point where the moon’s gravity will pull it the rest of the way.it must reach a speed called velocity of escape. This speed is about 25,000 miles per hour. At a speed less than this,a rocket will merely circle the Earth in an orbit and eventually fall back to Earth.
A rocket might miss its target,by a "wide margin". This means the rocket missed the target____.
选项
A、because of mechanical failure
B、by a great deal
C、by a small distance
D、because the target moved
答案
B
解析
题目问:火箭可能会错过一个“有广泛回旋余地“的目标,这句话意味着什么?本题可用排除法。A项“由于机械故障”,C项“距离短”,D项“因为目标移动”都不是文中所提原因。因此只有B项为正确答案。
