(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.28×104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s )? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85×104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10×104 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar system (in m/s )? (Assume that the Earth and the point on Jupiter's orbit lie along the same radial line from the Sun.) m/s

After the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel, its ultimate fate will be to collapse to a white dwarf state. In this state, it would have approximately the same mass as it has now, but its radius would be equal to the radius of the Earth. (a) Calculate the average density of the white dwarf (in kg/m3). kg/m3 (b) Calculate the surface free-fall acceleration (in m/s2 ). m/s2 (c) Calculate the gravitational potential energy (in J) associated with a 1.82 kg object at the surface of the white dwarf. J (d) What If? The escape speed from the "surface" of the Sun, or a distance equal to its radius, is 617.5 km/s. What would be the escape speed (in km/s ) from the surface of the white dwarf? km/s
