I keep getting this wrong despite working it out many times. Can I please get some insight on the right approach? A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed ?esc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ?=3.32×106 g/m3 and volume ?=2.40×1012 m3 . Recall that the universal gravitational constant is ?=6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 .

Let's consider an astronaut with a mass of 76.0 kg standing on the Earth. What is the gravitational force (in N) on the astronaut? (Review your work from the previous part. Remember that you can use the full gravitational force formula, or w = mg.) weight on the Earth's surface = 744.8 N Now let's imagine that same astronaut in orbit aboard the space station, orbiting at an altitude (height above the Earth's surface) of 380 km. We first need to find the astronaut's distance to the center of the Earth. What is the altitude expressed in units of meters? 380 km = 380000 The radius of the Earth is 6.37 ✕ 106 m. What is the total distance (in m) from the center of the Earth to the astronaut? r =_________m Finally, let's put it all together. Use the universal gravitational force formula to find the force (in N) on the astronaut, where m = 76.0 kg, the Earth's mass ME = 5.97 ✕ 1024 kg, and the distance r is the result you just found. F = ______N solve for the two bolded…

Find the fraction gM/g, where g is the Earths gravitational field. (This difference is responsible for the occurrence of the lunar tides on the Earth.)
In this problem you will measure the gravitational constant in a series of “observational experiments,” making use of Newton’s law of gravitation and second law of motion as well as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion Suppose a rocket is launched as described in part (d) with an initial speed of vi = 494 m/s and attains a peak altitude of H = 12.7 km above the surface of Earth. Taking ME = 5.95×1024 kg and Ri = 6.41×106 m, what is the measured value of the gravitational constant, in units of N⋅m2/kg2?
