Frame of reference

In physics, a frame of reference is a coordinate system used to specify either the position or the orientation or velocity of a body. The origin of the coordinate acts as a reference point for measuring the position or relative motion of a body. The coordinate system can be a cartesian coordinate, cylindrical coordinate, or a polar coordinate.

Goku's birthplace (in Dragon Ball Z universe) is planet Vegeta which has a really high surface gravity, that is why he can jump really high on Earth because the gravity on the said planet is really wimpy and cannot hold him down. Up to what height can Goku jump on planet Vegeta if he can jump on earth up to a height of 4764.24m and the planet Vegeta has 457.50% stronger gravity? Assume that Goku launched himself on the same initial velocity for both planets. What is his weight on planet Vegeta if his mass is 96.41kg?

Since 1995, hundreds of extrasolar planets have been discovered. There is the exciting possibility that there is life on one or more of these planets. To support life similar to that on the Earth, the planet must have liquid water. For an Earth-like planet orbiting a star like the Sun, this requirement means that the planet must be within a habitable zone of 0.9 AU to 1.4 AU from the star. The semimajor axis of an extrasolar planet is inferred from its period. What range in periods corresponds to the habitable zone for an Earth-like Planet orbiting a Sun-like star?
