A 2.0x 10° kg rocket is launched from the surface of the Earth. What is the escape speed (in km/s) of the rocket with respect to its gravitational interaction with the Sun? The initial distance of the rocket from the Sun is 1.5 x 1011 m and the mass of the Sun is 1.99 x 1030 kg. You may ignore all other gravitational interactions for the rocket and assume that the system is isolated. Hint: the mass of the Earth is 5.94 x 1024 kg and use G = 6.67 x 10-11 Jm

A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
Two identical particles, each of mass 1 000 kg, are coasting in free space along the same path, one in front of the other by 20.0 m. At the instant their separation distance has this value, each particle has precisely the same velocity of 800 m/s. What are their precise velocities when they are 2.00 m apart? Figure P13 74
To lift off from the Moon, a 9.50 105 kg rocket needs a thrust larger than the force of gravity. If the exhaust velocity is 4.25 103 m/s, at what rate does the exhaust need to be expelled to provide sufficient thrust? The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s2.
Find the center of mass of a cone of uniform density that has a radius R at the base, height h, and mass M. Let the origin be at the center of the base of the cone and have +z going through the cone vertex.
How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.
Each Voyager spacecraft was accelerated toward escape speed from the Sun by the gravitational force exerted by Jupiter on the spacecraft. (a) Is the gravitational force a conservative or a nonconservative force? (b) Does the interaction of the spacecraft with Jupiter meet the definition of an elastic collision?

QUESTION 6 (COLLAB Gauss's Law for Mass) Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024.kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 2.6 x 106 m through the center of a planet with radius 7.7 x 1o6 m. If the mass of the planet is 36.7 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 8 s?
A rocket is launched from the surface of the Earth with an iniital speed of 2.93 km/s. What is the farthest distance from the center of the Earth can this rocket reach if we ignore the effect of the atmosphere? Radius of the Earth is 6370 km, and the Mass of the Earth is 5.97x10^24 kg. Please answer in units of kilometers. G=6.67x10^(-11N.m^2/kg^2) Thanks
If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5×1013 kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the 1.99×1030 kg sun at a speed of 3.3 ×104 m/s. What will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? The orbit of Mars is 2.28×108 km, the orbit of Mercury is 5.79×107 km, and G = 6.67×10-11 N⋅m2/kg2.
A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).
