During July 1994 the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter in a spectacular fashion. The comet actually consisted of 21 distinct pieces, the largest of which had a mass of approximately 4.0 x 1012 kg and a speed of 6.0 x 104 m/s. Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg and an orbital speed of 1.3 x 104 m/s. If this piece of the comet had hit Jupiter head-on, what would have been the change (magnitude only) in Jupiter's orbital speed (not its final speed)? Number i Units

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.
Two objects with different masses have the same momentum. The less massive object will have a greater kinetic energy. True or False
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?
We know that the mass of the bagged lunch is m = 1.40 kg and the mass of the astronaut is M = 67.0 kg. Before the collision, the bagged lunch moves with a velocity of vi = 1.60 m/s in the positive x-direction and the astronaut is at rest relative to the space station with velocity Vi = 0. MVi + mvi = MVf + mvf to obtain (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (67.0 kg)Vf + (1.40 kg)vf. Because vf = Vf, this further simplifies to (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (1.40 kg + 67.0 kg)Vf. What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision?
A 4,600 kg open train car is rolling on frictionless rails at 21.1 m/s when it starts pouring rain. A while later the car's speed is 19.5 m/s. What mass of water has collected in the car? Provide your answer in appropriate units of meters (m), seconds (s), kilograms (kg), radians (rad) or combinations thereof, such as m/s or m/s^2. Use at least three significant figures in your answer, do not use scientific notation. Using more significant figures will not be considered incorrect; using fewer may lead to errors due to rounding.
There is a large crater in Arizona called Meteor Crater. It is estimated that it was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite that had a mass of about 5 x 10^10 kg and was traveling at a speed of 7.5 km/sec. How fast could this meteorite have hit the Earth (whose mass is 6 x 10^24 kg) if we assume a head-on collision?
The centers of the earth and its moon are separated by an average of 3.84 c 10^5 m and the moon's mass is 7.35 c 10^22 kg. What does Earth's moon exert on a 10 kg mass?
A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 4.2 x 106 m through the center of a planet with radius 7.4 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 32.2 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 7 s.
Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter collides. Asteroid A was initially travelling at 50.0 m/s when it hits a stationary asteroid B.
