You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to the moon. Some information that will help during this problem: mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kgrearth = 6.3781 x 106 mmmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kgrmoon = 1.7374 x 106 mdearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to center)G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2 1) On your first attempt you leave the surface of the earth at v = 5534 m/s. How far from the center of the earth will you get? 2) Since that is not far enough, you consult a friend who calculates (correctly) the minimum speed needed as vmin = 11068 m/s. If you leave the surface of the earth at this speed, how fast will you be moving at the surface of the moon? Hint carefully write out an expression for the potential and kinetic energy of the ship on the surface of earth, and on the surface of moon. Be sure to include the gravitational potential energy of the earth even when the ship is…
Two stars, one twice as massive as the other, are 1.0 light year (ly) apart. One light year is the distance light travels in one year at the speed of light, 3.00×108m/s. The gravitational potential energy of this double-star system is −6.5 ×1034J.What is the mass of the lighter star?
A uranium-238 nucleus undergoes a radioactive decay, 238 U 234Th + 4He. The masses are approximately 238, 234 and 4 u, where u = the atomic mass unit. The U nucleus is initially at rest. Suppose the He nucleus has speed v. Then what is the kinetic energy of the Th nucleus? Parameters: ] u = 1.66 x 10-27 kg; v = 9.000×106 m/s.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 5 x 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.3 x 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 x 1012 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed = m/s
If an object with a mass of 2 kg changes it speed from 3.12 m/s to 7.96 m/s, what is its change in kinetic energy? Assume that the answer has proper SI Units.
