According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, the gravitational force on an object of mass m that has been projected vertically upward from the earth's surface is mgR? F = (x + R)- where x = x(1) is the object's distance above the surface at time t, R is the earth's radius, and g is the acceler- ation due to gravity. Also, by Newton's Second Law, F = ma = m(dv/dt) and so dv m dt mgR? (x + R)? (a) Suppose a rocket is fired vertically upward with an initial velocity vo. Let h be the maximum height above the surface reached by the object. Show that 2gRh VR+ h [Hint: By the Chain Rule, m (dv/di) = mv (dv/dx).] (b) Calculate v. = lim--- Vo. This limit is called the escape velocity for the earth. (c) Use R = 3960 mi and g = 32 ft/s² to calculate v, in feet per second and in miles per second.
One type of engine used in space travel is an ion thruster. These engines produce a low force that results in small acceleration changes. If an ion-thrust engine is used to apply 87 millinewtons [mN] of force on a satellite with a mass of 1.7 megagrams [Mg], what is the acceleration produced in units of meters per second squared [m/s2]?
The Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy once each 2.60 × 108 years, with a roughly circular orbit averaging 3.00 × 104 light years in radius. (A light year is the distance traveled by light in 1 y.) Calculate the average speed of the Sun in its galactic orbit in m/s.

The mass M of the largest stone which can be moved by water of a flowing river is assumed to be. M= KV^r Pg^s where K= diamensionless constant V= velocity of water P= density of water g = acceleration due to gravity and r,s are diamensionless exponent. Find the value of r.
You hopefully used g=9.8 m/s2 (or thereabouts). That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center. Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights. For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.
