A rocket is projected upward from the earth's surface (r = RE) with an initial speed v0 that carries it to a distance r = 1.5 RE from the center of the earth. What is the launch speed v0? Assume that air friction can be ignored.
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?
Planet Roton, with a mass of 9.00 x 1024 kg and a radius of 3600 km, gravitationally attracts a meteorite that is initially at rest relative to the planet, at a distance great enough to take as
infinite. The meteorite falls toward the planet. Assuming the planet is airless, find the speed of the meteorite when it reaches the planet's surface.
