A 1,015 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space?
(a) How much work is done by the Moon's graviational field on a 1500 kg meteor as it comes in from outer space and impacts on the Moon's surface? 4.28785714e9 J Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) If the meteor hits the moon with a speed of 4.2 km/s, how fast was it moving in deep space?
A meteor from outer space strikes the Earth. Ignoring gravitational effects from other bodies in the solar system, and assuming that the meteor is initially at rest at a great distance from the Earth, what is the impact speed of the meteor?
1. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves along its orbit? 2. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves from aphelion to perihelion? 3. What is the work done by the solar gravitational field when the Earth moves from perihelion to aphelion?
(a) Calculate the work done (in J) on a 1450 kg elevator car by its cable to lift it 39.0 m at constant speed, assuming friction averages 145 N (b) What is the work done (in J) on the lift by the gravitational force in this process? (c) What is the total work done (in 1) on the lift?

One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1070 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious space camper and you launch a serious rocket: it reaches an altitude of 231 km. What gain AU in gravitational potential energy does the launch accomplish? The mass and radius of the Moon are 7.36 x 1022 kg and 1740 km, respectively. AU = 2.665 x1015 J Incorrect
