In the best case scenario for a gravity boost, a spacecraft approaches a planet very closely and does a U-turn around it, heading back exactly in the direction it came. If the spacecraft was initially going to the right with a speed of 5 km/s, and the planet was going to the left at a speed of 13 km/s, what would be the fastest the spacecraft could be going after the U-turn, in km/s? Be clear and show all your work.

A sample from a meteorite that landed on Earth has been analyzed, and the result shows that out of every 1,000 nuclei of potassium-40 originally in the meteorite, only 250 are still present, meaning they have not yet decayed. How old is the meteorite (in yr)? (Hint: See the figure below.) (Note: The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years.) Figure A graph and a series of bar charts above it both show the percentage of radioactive atoms remaining in a mineral sample. Detailed descriptions of the graph and the bar charts are available in the adjacent lists.

You wanted to determine the age of zircons that fell on Earth as meteorites. You wanted to use the 238U-206Pb method (half-life value = 4.5 billion years). The lab results showed 25% 238U and 75% 206Pb. Which of the following conclusions can you make about the age of zircons and the reliability of the technique? Select from the following and explain. A. The age of the zircons is 1.5 billion years, nearly 1/3 that of our planet’s. These zircons must have come from a different planet within our solar system. B. The lab results are not reliable because it is impossible to get 25% of the parent, 238U and 75% of the daughter, 206Pb. C. The ages of the zircons represent that of our Earth’s (4.5 billion years) and must have come from within our solar system. D. The results are not reliable because 238U and 75% 206Pb is not the best method to determine ages of zircons. E. The zircons, having ages twice as much as our planet’s, must have come from outside of our solar system.
