A meteor enters Earth's atmosphere (Figure 11.10) and is observed by someone on the ground before it burnsup in the atmosphere. The vector 7 = 25 km i +25 km gives the position of the meteor with respect to theobserver. At the instant the observer sees the meteor, it has linear momentum p = 15.0 kg(-2.0km/s j), andit is accelerating at a constant 2.0 m/s²(-1) along its path, which for our purposes can be taken as a straightline.

A meteoroid is moving towards a planet. It has mass m = 0.54×109 kg and speed v1 = 4.7×107 m/s at distance R1 = 1.6×107 m from the center of the planet. The radius of the planet is R = 0.78×107 m. The mass of the planet is M = 5.6×1025kg. There is no air around the planet. a)Enter an expression for the total energy E of the meteoroid at R, the surface of the planet, in terms of defined quantities and v, the meteoroid’s speed when it reaches the planet’s surface. Select from the variables below to write your expression. Note that all variables may not be required.α, β, θ, d, g, G, h, m, M, P, R, R1, t, v, v1 b)Enter an expression for v, the meteoroid’s speed at the planet’s surface, in terms of G, M, v1, R1, and R. c)Calculate the value of v in meters per second.
Aliens declare war on Earth by dropping an asteroid on our planet. The asteroid starts at rest from a distance of 37 x 106 m from the center of Earth. Calculate the speed with which the asteroid hits Earth's surface, in km/s. Use that G = 6.7 x 10-11 N m2 / kg2, MEarth = 6 x 1024 kg, and REarth = 6 x 106 m. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
A binary-star system contains a visible star and a black hole moving around their center of mass in circular orbits with radii r1 and r2 , respectively. The visible star has an orbital speed of v=5.36x105 ms-1 and a mass of m1 =5Ms ,where Ms= 1.98x1030kg is the mass of our Sun. Moreover, the orbital period of the visible star is T = 30 hours.(a) What is the radius r1 of the orbit of the visible star?(b) Calculate the mass m2 of the black hole in terms of MS .

Current Attempt in Progress Three dimensions. Three point particles are fixed in place in an xyz coordinate system. Particle A, at the origin, has mass ma. Particle B, at xyz coordinates (2.00d, 2.00d, 2.00d), has mass 4.00ma, and particle C, at coordinates (-3.00d, 2.00d, -3.00d), has mass 4.00mA. A fourth particle D, with mass 3.00ma, is to be placed near the other particles.
