A group of astronauts is trying to land on an alien planet that is very similar to Earth. Their spaceship is traveling towards the planet (along the horizontal) at a speed of 83.3 m/s. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.7x103 kg. The planet that they're trying to land on is 6500 km away with a diameter of approximately 12700 km with a mass that is the same as Earth's. Does the team land on the planet? Assume that g is the same for this planet as it is on Earth.
