In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?
Three uniform spheres are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle. Each side of the triangle has a length of 1.20 m. Two of the spheres have a mass of 2.87 kg each. The third sphere (mass unknown) is released from rest. Considering only the gravitational forces that the spheres exert on each other, what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the third sphere?
The figure below shows a spherical hollow inside a lead sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. The surface of the hollow passes through the center of the sphere and "touches" the right side of the sphere. The mass of the sphere before hollowing was M = 2.50 kg. With what gravitational force does the hollowed-out lead sphere attract a small sphere of mass m = 0.459 kg that lies at a distance d = 9.00 cm from the center of the lead sphere, on the straight line connecting the centers of the spheres and of the hollow?

One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious space camper and you launch a serious rocket: it reaches an altitude of 227 km. What gain in gravitational potential energy does the launch accomplish? The mass and radius of the Moon are 7.36×10^22 kg and 1740 km, respectively.
