QUESTION:

Problem 38P

Suppose that on earth you can jump straight up a distance of 50 cm. Can you escape from a 4.0-km-diameter asteroid with a mass of 1.0 × 1014 kg?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

In this question, we need to find the initial velocity of a jump to check if we can escape from the asteroid

Data given

Initial distance of jump \(y=50 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Diameter of asteroid \(d=4.0 \mathrm{~km}\)

Radius \(r=2.0 \mathrm{~km}\)

Mass of asteroid \(m=1.0 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~kg}\)
