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?

A satellite is in elliptical orbit with a period of 8.00 * 10^4 s about a planet of mass 7.00 * 1024 kg. At aphelion, at radius 4.5 * 10^7 m, the satellite’s angular speed is 7.158 * 10-5 rad/s.What is its angular speed at perihelion?
An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground? The Earth has mass ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. To find the relevant potential energies, you must use G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2 kg-2
