Question: The average person can jump off the ground with a velocity of 7 mph without fear of leaving the planet. However, if an astronaut jumps
The average person can jump off the ground with a velocity of 7 mph without fear of leaving the planet. However, if an astronaut jumps with this velocity while standing on Halley’s Comet, will the astronaut ever come back down? Create a program that allows the user to input a launch velocity (in mph) from the surface of Halley’s Comet and determine whether a jumper will return to the surface. If not, the program should calculate how much more massive the comet must be in order to return the jumper to the surface. Hint: Escape velocity is
where G = 6.67 × 10–11 N m2 ∕ kg2 is the gravitational constant, M = 1.3 × 1022 kg is the mass of Halley’s comet, and R = 1.153 × 106 m is its radius.
