A rocket, launched from the Earth, shuts off its engines when its speed is 4.90 km/s. It reaches a maximum altitude H of 2790 km before it falls back to Earth. At what altitude l did the rocket's engines shut off? The mass, radius, and escape speed of the Earth are 5.972 x 1024 kg, 6.371 x 106 m, and 11.18 km/s respectively (4 points)

A circular rock 5 km in radius hits the earth head-on, at speed 36 km/s. The rock's density is 3 g/cm3. The earth's mass is 6*1024 kg. Treating the earth as initially stationary, calculate its final in speed due to the impact. Because of the system's trouble with small numbers, calculate the speed in μm/s -- the distance unit is the micron or micrometer, 10-6 meter. I am so confused on where to start, like is the rocks density m2...
