for the escape velocity
escape velocity = sqrt(2 * GM/R)
escape velocity = sqrt(2 * GM/R^2 * R)
escape velocity = sqrt(2 * g * R)
escape velocity = sqrt(2 * 0.130 * 9.8* 0.407 * 6371 *10^3)
escape velocity = 2570 m/s
the escape velocity on the planet is 2570 m/s

A rocket travels horizontally, close to the earth. The centripetal acceleration of the rocket is the earth's gravity (9.8 m/s2). If the earth's radius is 6.3 x 106 m and we neglect air resistance, how fast must the rocket be going to keep a constant height above the earth's surface?
work done against gravity when the rocket rises
A rocket lifts off the pad at Cape Canaveral. According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is given byF(x) = - GMm /x2where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the rocket, G is a universal constant, and x is the distance (in miles) between the rocket and the center of theearth. Take the radius of the earth to be 4000 miles, so that x > 4000 miles.1. Find...

You have a rocket of mass 2350 kg. How much work does the force of gravity do on the rocket if it moves from Earth's surface to 3.0 times the Earth's radius away? Be careful to use the definition of work that accounts for a force that changes based on location!

A rocket rises vertically, from rest, with an acceleration of 3.2 m/s2 until it runs out of fuel at an altitude of 1300 m. After this point, its acceleration is that of gravity, downward. (a) What is the velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuel? (Assume up is positive.) 1 m/s (b) How long does it take to reach this point? 2 s (c) What maximum altitude does the rocket reach? 3 m (d) How much time...

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant acceleration 49.0 m/s2 . The acceleration period lasts for time 7.00 s until the fuel is exhausted. After that, the rocket is in free fall. Find the maximum height ymax reached by the rocket. Ignore air resistance and assume a constant acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.80 m/s2 .
