a) A spaceship Is projected vertically upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 6.66 km/s, but unfortunately does not have a great enough speed to escape Earth's gravity. What maximum height does the spaceship reach (in m)? Ignore air resistance. 2471510.204 x m (b) A meteorold falls from a height of 3.31 x 10 m above the surface of the Earth. What is the speed (in m/s) when the meteorite hits the Earth? Assume the meteorold is initially rest with respect to the Earth. (Note that a meteorite is a meteoroid that makes it to Earth's surface.) 25470.76756 x m/s

The Moon is about 3.8 ✕ 108 m from Earth. Traveling at the speed of light, 3.0 ✕ 108 m/s, how long does it take a laser beam to go from Earth to the Moon and back again (in s)? The same physics was responsible for the noticeable delay in communications signals between lunar astronauts and controllers at the Houston Space Flight Center.
An exoplanet (JB-2285), located in the galaxy closest to ours, uses a system where the units of mass and force are phljmth and xwyflr. respectively. Xwyflr is defined as the unit of force required to accelerate a unit mass, phljmth, with the gravitational acceleration (in m/s2) on the surface of the exoplanet which is seven tenths of the gravitational acceleration on earth’s surface (9.8066 m/s2). a. What is the conversion factor to convert a force in xwyflr to force in phljmth●m/s2? b. Calculate the weight in xwyflr of a 14.28 phljmth object on the surface of the exoplanet JB-2285. c. Determine the weight of the object in (b) in Newtons (N) in Mintal, Davao City if 137.224 N = 1.00 xwyflr? d. What is the mass in grams of a 796.2-phljmth object?
