- An asteroid closely passes the Earth at a range of 17200mi and a relative speed of 7.8km/s.The diameter is estimated at 30mwith a specific gravity of 3. If this asteroid had impacted Earth, how much energy would have been released? Express this quantity in units of mega-tons (M ton) where a megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive. A metric ton is 1000kgand the explosive energy density of TNT is 4184J/g.Hint: If the asteroid hits the Earth, its relative velocity becomes zero. Ignore any change in asteroid velocity due to gravitational acceleration or air resistance.If you took the Earth and reduced its radius to one fourth its current size, what would the escape velocity from the Earth be?In a futuristic scenario, you are assigned the mission of making an enemy satellite that is in a circular orbit around Earth inoperative. You know you cannot destroy the satellite, as it is well protected against attack, but you can try to knock it out of its orbit so it will fly away and never return. What is the minimum amount of work ? applied to the satellite that is required to accomplish that? The satellite's mass and altitude are 975 kg and 259 km. Earth's mass and radius are 5.98×1024 kg and 6370 km.W = ? J
- The perihelion of the comet LINEAR–Skiff is 2.12 AU and the aphelion is 6.11 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 25 km/s, what is the speed (in km/s) at aphelion (1 AU = 1.496 ✕ 1011 m)? (Hint: You may use either conservation of energy or angular momentum, but the latter is much easier.)_________ km/sA mood of a mass m and raduis a is orbiting a planet of mass M and if radius b at a distance d (center to center) in a circular orbit.

- Find the escape speed of a projectile from the surface of Venus.(a) An exoplanet is in an elliptical orbit around a distant star. At its closest approach, the exoplanet is 0.540 AU from the star and has a speed of 54.0 km/s. When the exoplanet is at its farthest distance from the star of 28.0 AU, what is its speed (in km/s)? (1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun and is equal to 1.496 × 10-4 m. You may assume that other planets and smaller objects in the star system exert negligible forces on the exoplanet.) km/s (b) What If? A comet is in a highly elliptical orbit around the same star. The comet's greatest distance from the star is 21,300 times larger than its closest distance to the star. The comet's speed at its greatest distance is 2.90 × 10¬2 km/s. What is the speed (in km/s) of the comet at its closest approach? km/sWhat is the minimum speed (km/s), relative to the Sun, necessary for a spacecraft to escape the solar system if it starts at the Earth's orbit? Voyager 1 achieved a maximum speed of 125,000 km/h on its way to photograph Jupiter. Beyond what distance (m) from the Sun is this speed sufficient to escape the solar system?
