Suppose that you have a planet in a circular orbit about a star with the mass of the Sun. The orbital speed is 141 km/s. If you could increase the planet’s speed, what speed would you need to make it to escape the gravitational pull of its parent star?

Earth's orbital velocity is about 29 km/s and that maintains its nearly circular orbit. Suppose we had a spacecraft following Earth in its orbit, and we applied a rocket to speed it to 35 km/s. Assume the thrust is entirely in the plane of the orbit, so the spacecraft stays in the same plane as Earth's orbit. What happens?

A 507 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 754 km above a planet’s surface. This planet is similar to our Earth. Because of air friction, the satellite eventually is brought to the Earth’s surface, and it hits the Earth with a speed of 3 km/s. The radius of the planet is 7 × 106 m and its mass is 8 × 1024 kg. The gravitational constant is 6.67259 × 10−11 N m2 /kg2. How much...
