IT'S ARMAGEDDON! A Texas sized asteroid is headed for Earth! You've been hired by NASA to be part of a misfit team of deep-core drillers to save the planet! As the engineer (and most educated person) on the team, you've been tasked with doing the calculations to make sure the Earth will be saved. The plan is to land on the 6.1 x 10²1 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonate a nuclear bomb. The asteroid will break into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30° and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece? Scientists estimate that as long as the angle is greater than 15° we're all gonna be alright! Note: This is a totally ridiculous scenario, but the movie made a lot of money and had a lot of famous people in it. Typical Hollywood, right? Note 2: I made up the numbers, but they're close to what the movie describes.

Deimos, a moon of Mars, is about 12 km in diameter with mass 2.0 × 10¹5 kg. Suppose you are stranded alone on Deimos and want to play a one-person game of baseball. You would be the pitcher, and you would be the batter! a. With what speed would you have to throw a baseball so that it would go into a circular orbit just above the surface and return to you so you could hit it? Do you think you could actually throw it at this speed? b. How long (in hours) after throwing the ball should you be ready to hit it? Would this be an action-packed baseball game?

The Cassini spacecraft was a mission to Saturn which observed Saturn and several of Saturn's moons. Assume Cassini is in a circular orbit around Saturn. NASA wants to enlarge Cassini's orbit so that it will pass by one of Saturn's moons that is on an orbit farther away from Saturn. To do this, they will need to fire the thrusters...
