A 150,000 kg space probe is landing on an alien planet with a gravitational acceleration of 10.00. If its fuel is ejected from the rocket motor at 37,000 m/s what must the mass rate of change of the space ship (delta m)/(delta t) be to achieve at upward acceleration of 2.50 m/s^2?

Check Your Understanding Galaxies are not single objects. How does the gravitiational force of one galaxy exerted on the “closer” stars of the other galaxy compare to those farther away? What effect would this have on the shape of the galaxies themselves?
The principle of equivalence states that all experiments done in a lab in a uniform gravitational field cannot be distinguished from those done in a lab that is not in a gravitational field but in uniformly accelerating. For the latter case, consider what happens to a laser beam at some height shot perfectly horizontally to the floor, across the accelerating lab. (View this from a nonaccelerating frame outside the lab.) Relative to the height of the laser, where will the laser beam hit the far wall? What does this say about the effect of a gravitational field on light? Does the fact that light has no mass make any difference to the argument?
Compute directly the gravitational force on a unit mass at a point exterior to a homogeneous sphere of matter.
Find the Hohmann transfer velocities, vEllipseEarth and vEllipseMars ,needed for a trip to Mars. Use Equation 13.7 to find the circular orbital velocities for Earth and Mars. Using Equation 13.4 and the total energy of the ellips (with semi-major asix a), given by E=GmMs2a , find the velocities at Earth (perihelion) and at Mars (aphelion) required to be on the transfer ellipse. The difference, v , at each point is the velocity boost or transfer velocity needed.

Astronomers predict that on Friday 13 April 2029 the asteroid 99942 Apophis is going to pass within 30,000 km of the Earth. Given the fact that, on average, the Moon is 385,000 km distant from the Earth, this asteroid is going to pass pretty darn close. 99942 Apophis has a mass of 2.7*10^10 kg and is expected to be traveling at a speed of 12.6 km/s relative to the Earth at the time of closest approach. What if astronomers goofed in their calculations and the asteroid is actually going to hit the Earth? With what kinetic energy would 99942 Apophis impact the Earth in terms of megatons of TNT? A detonation of 1 megaton of TNT releases 4.2 * 10^15 Joules of energy.

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 4945.08m and the planet Vegeta has 460.52% 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 95.36kg? Show full solution
