Scientists believe that during the Mesozoic period a meteor
struck the earth and covered the planet in a layer of sediment
which is rich in iridium. This element is not found in abundance on
earth, but is commonly found in asteroids. In the study of Spanish
soil they found a concentration 30 ng / cm2 of iridium, and let’s
assume28that due to the worldwide impact of such a meteor, the
layer would be equally as concentrated everywhere on the planet....

What is the minimum speed with which a meteor strikes the top of
Earth’s stratosphere (about 41.5 km above the surface), assuming
that the meteor begins as a bit of interplanetary debris far from
Earth and stationary relative to Earth? Assume that the drag force
is negligible until the meteor reaches the stratosphere. Mass of
Earth is 5.974 × 1024 kg; radius of Earth is 6.371 × 106 km; and
gravitational constant is 6.674 × 10−11 N·m2/kg2.

An F-14 Tomcat is approaching an aircraft carrier. The velocity
vector of the carrier is [-23, 0, 19] knots, while the wind
velocity vector is [15, 0, -5] knots (both in Earth axes). If the
Tomcat lands at a true airspeed of 125 KTAS at an angle of
10-degrees to the left of the direction of motion of the carrier
and its rate of descent (vertical velocity) is 7 knots, what is the
relative speed between the Tomcat and the...

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative
speed of 0.150 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕
103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two
satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their
final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the
second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive
direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first
satellite....
