Find the center of mass of a cone of uniform density that has a radius R at the base, height h, and mass M. Let the origin be at the center of the base of the cone and have +z going through the cone vertex.
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?

Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto? Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis. A. 289 km; inside B. 781 km; inside C. 2130 km; outside D. 5910 km; outside
Suppose the mass of a rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75400-kg, and its exhaust speed is 2.25 × 103 m/s. Calculate the maximum rate, in kilograms per second, at which the rocket can expel gases, if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth. Assume the gravitational force on the rocket is negligible.
The mass of Venus is 4.87 ✕ 1024 kg, and the mass of Mars is 6.42 ✕ 1023 kg. The average distance of separation, measured between their centers, is 1.20 ✕ 108 km. (a) Locate the center of mass (in m) of the Venus-Mars system as measured from the center of Venus. m from Venus's center (b) Is the center of mass of the system located within Venus?

(COLLAB Gauss's Law for Mass) Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 2.6 x 106 m through the center of a planet with radius 7.7 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 36.7 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 8 s?
Jupiter has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg—more than twice that of all the other planets in the solar system combined. Its average distance from the sun is 7.78 x 1011 m. If the sun has a mass of 1.99 x 1030 kg and a radius of 6.96 x 108 m, how far from the center of the sun would you find the center of mass of the Jupiter-sun system? (Since Jupiter is so much more massive than the other planets, this position essentially represents the center of mass of the solar system as a whole.)
