You plan to take a trip to the moon. since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to the moon. some information that will during this problem:

mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kg
rearth = 6.3781 x 106 m
mmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kg
rmoon = 1.7374 x 106 m
dearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to center)
g = 6.67428 x 10-11 n-m2/kg2

1)on your first attempt you leave the surface of the earth at v = 5534 m/s. how far from the center of the earth will you get?
2)since that is not far enough, you consult a friend who calculates (correctly) the minimum speed needed as vmin = 11068 m/s. if you leave the surface of the earth at this speed, how fast will you be moving at the surface of the moon? hint carefully write out an expression for the potential and kinetic energy of the ship on the surface of earth, and on the surface of moon. be sure to include the gravitational potential energy of the earth even when the ship is at the surface of the moon!
3)which of the following would change the minimum velocity needed to make it to the moon?
the mass of the earth
the radius of the earth
the mass of the spaceship

According to rutherford's nuclear theory, most of the volume of an atom is , so the volume of a hydrogen atom cannot be mostly due to the proton.according to rutherford's nuclear theory, the core of an atom (nucleus) contains most of of an atom and is , so the majority of the mass of a fluorine atom cannot be due to its nine electrons.according to rutherford's nuclear theory, the number of negatively charged particles outside the nucleus the number of positively charged particles within the nucleus, so a nitrogen atom has 7 protons and 7 electrons, while a phosphorous atom cannot have 15 protons and 150 electrons.word bank: dense, empty space, more than, mass, particles, the same as, less than, positively charged, negatively charged
