A rocket is fired straight up, and it burns out at an altitude of 250 km when traveling at 6.00 km/s (at this point the rocket is too far from the surface of the earth to be affected by the earth gravitational pull). What maximum distance from the earth surface does the rocket travel before falling back to the earth? The radius of the earth is RE = 6.37 x 106 meters, the mass of the earth is ME = 5.98 x 1024 kg and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N∙m2/kg2

You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surface, the ship's orbital speed is 5500 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal.
If resistance due to the planet's atmosphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?

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 vesc 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 ? = 2.67 × 106 g/m3 and volume V =1.71 × 1012 m3. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G = 6.67 × 10-11 (Nm2)/(kg2).

How much work is required to lift a 500-kg satellite to an altitude of 3⋅10^6 m above the surface of the Earth? The gravitational force is F=GMm/r^2, where M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the satellite, and r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's center. The radius of the Earth is 6.4⋅10^6 m, its mass is 6⋅10^24 kg, and in these units the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67⋅10^−11.
