- Goku's birthplace (in Dragon Ball Z universe) is planet Vegeta which has a really high surface gravity, that is why he can jump really high on Earth because the gravity on the said planet is really wimpy and cannot hold him down. Up to what height can Goku jump on planet Vegeta if he can jump on earth up to a height of 4158.98m and the planet Vegeta has 422.82% stronger gravity? Assume that Goku launched himself on the same initial velocity for both planets. What is his weight on planet Vegeta if his mass is 105.31kg?arrow_forwardIn 2005 astronomers announced the discovery of a large black hole in the galaxy Markarian 766 having clumps of matter orbiting around once every 27 hours and moving at 30,000 km/s. How far are these clumps from the center of the black hole? What is the mass of this black hole, assuming circular orbits? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun's mass.arrow_forwardA space probe is launched from Earth headed for deep space.
