A meteoroid with a mass of 5840 kg is detected heading toward the Earth, which has a mass of 5.98×1024 kg. Its speed at a distance of 3.85×108 m from the center of the Earth (roughly the distance to the Moon), is 1000 m/s. Fortunately, it misses the Earth by a distance of 9.77×106 m, measured from the Earth's center. How fast was the meteoroid traveling when it came closest to the Earth?

A 3.9×1010kg asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady 22 km/s. To save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. The rocket generates 5.0×109N of thrust. The rocket is fired when the asteroid is 3.8×106km away from earth. You can ignore the rotational motion of the earth and asteroid around the sun. Express your answers to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. a)...
