What is the minimum speed (relative to Earth) required for a rocket to send it out of the solar system?Note that you need to make use of Earth's speed to arrive at your result.

At what temperature does the rms speed of a.) A nitrogen molecule equal the escape speed...

At what temperature does the rms speed of a.) A nitrogen molecule equal the escape speed from the Earth’s surface and b.) A hydrogen molecule equal the escape speed from the Earth’s surface? c.) You will find that these temperatures are very high, so you might think that the earth’s gravity could easily contain both gases. But not all molecules move with vrms. There is a distribution of speeds, and a small percentage of molecules have speeds several times vrms....

A new asteroid is found with a circular sun-orbit 1.27 AU. A spacecraft is going to be sent to investigate it. Please find the relative angular position of the asteroid to the earth when the satellite is sent if the Hohman transfer is used. Where the earth will be when the spacecraft reaches the asteroid? AU = 1.496×108 km.

You have a spacecraft that is capable of reaching a speed of 0.99c and desire to travel to Vega, a nearby star about 25 light years away. In order to keep track of your position, your spacecraft sends out a flash of light every second (by your ship’s clock) during the journey that can be picked up on Earth. In addition, the Earth sends out a flash every second (by the Earth clock) that you can see with a telescope...
