A space vehicle is traveling at 3250 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The relative speed between the motor and the command module is then 72 km/h. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation?

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.9 x 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.3 x 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 x 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed = m/s
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.
A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 3.7 x 106 m through the center of a planet with a radius 7.3 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 31.6 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 9 s?
An object, with mass 88 kg and speed 18 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 4 times as massive as the other; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame?
A 1000 kg object is found heading towards the Earth. At the moment it is 4 Earth radii away from the surface of our planet the asteroid is moving at 100 m/s. If it collides with our planet, how fast will it be moving right before it hits the surface? How much kinetic energy is going to be released in this collision?

There are two particles (1 and 2) that are moving around in space. The mass of particle 1 is 4.1 kg and the mass ofparticle 2 is 4.51 kg. The particles are isolated so that only the forces between the particles are significant.
