Chapter 3, Problem P3.36(choose chapter or problem)
The average person can jump off the ground witha velocity of 7 mph without fear of leaving theplanet. However, if an astronaut jumps with thisvelocity while standing on Halleys Comet, willthe astronaut ever come back down? Create aprogram that allows the user to input a launchvelocity (in mph) from the surface of HalleysComet and determine whether a jumper willreturn to the surface. If not, the program shouldcalculate how much more massive the comet mustbe in order to return the jumper to the surface.Hint: Escape velocity is vGMR escape = 2 , where G = N m kg 6 67 10 11 2 2 . isthe gravitational constant, M = 1 3 10 kg 22 . is the mass of Halleys comet, andR = 1 153 10 . 6m is its radius.
