A small body of super dense material, whose mass is half the mass of the earth (but whose size is very small compared to the size of the earth), starts from rest at a height H above the earth's surface, and reaches the earth's surface in time 1. Calculate time t assuming that H is very small compared to the radius of the earth. Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth is g.

An asteroid of mass 331 kg orbits the sun in a long-period orbit of 225 years. It is currently at its furthest distance from the sun: 1.11 x 10+13 m. It is moving at 184 m/s.When the asteroid makes its closest approach to the sun in another 112 years it will pass within 1.55 x 10+10 m of the sun. How fast will it be going?

At the surface of planet X, a 1 kg object weighs 4 N (planet radius R=106m). A space probe passes by planet X with the nearest point (A) at 8R from the center. When the probe was very far away it had a speed of sqrt(2gxR), where gx is the acceleration of gravity at the planet surface. Find a value for the speed of this probe when it is at point A, vA.
Which of the following are part of the first postulate of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity? Time and weight are relative to the motion of the observer.

You are an alien on an alien planet orbiting the planet's sun in a circular orbit. You want to find the mass of your sun. You determine the center-to-center distance between your planet and sun to be 6.75E+10 meters. The period of motion of your planet (the length of your year) is 1.21E+7 seconds. You know G=6.67*10^−11Nm2kg2 . What is the mass of your sun?
