If an icy comet is falling on Jupiter. Determine the minimum distance it will reach from center of Jupiter
before it breaks apart (radius of Jupiter = 6.99x104 km)

Icy comets are expected to break apart when they reach the Roche limit of Earth. Determine the altitude for
a comet to break apart (ignore effect of atmosphere, radius of Earth = 6400 km)

A comet is deflected by the planet Jupiter into an orbit that puts it on a collision course with Earth. When the comet is 2.00 x 10km from Earth, it is headed directly toward Earth with a speed of 30.0 km/s. What will be the speed of the comet just before it hits Earth's atmosphere at a distance of 6.40 x 10 km from the center of the Earth? The mass of Earth is 5.97 x 10 kg. (a) 31.9...

You are a planetary scientist studying the atmosphere of Jupiter through a large telescope when you observe an asteroid approaching the planet. This asteroid is large, so you know it is held together by gravity rather than the cohesive forces that hold a large rock together. If the asteroid gets too close to Jupiter, the massive tidal forces will tear it apart, scattering small particles that will add to the ring system. You have calculated the closest distance the asteroid...

Suppose an object is launched from Earth with 0.52 times the escape speed. How many multiples of Earth's radius (RE 6.37 x 106 m) in radial distance will the object reach before falling back toward Earth? The distances are measured relative to Earth's center, so a ratio of 1.00 would correspond to an object on Earth's surface. For this problem, neglect Earth's rotation and the effect of its atmosphere For reference, Earth's mass is 5.972 x1024 kg. Your answer is...
