5. A small asteroid strikes the surface of Mars and causes a rock to fly upward with a velocity of 26 m/s [52° above the horizontal]. The rock rises to a maximum height and then lands on the side of a hill 12 m above its initial position. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/s². KU TI A (a) Calculate the maximum height of the rock. (b) Determine the time that the rock is in flight. (c) What is the range of the rock?

Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)

The ace pilot, Wash, attempts to put the ship Serenity (50,000 kg) in orbit at an altitude of 400 km around a planet (called Haven), which is about the same size as the Earth (D = 12,800 km). He has slowed to an approach velocity of 2 km/s. (recall: G = 6.67 x10-11 N m2 kg-2) Unfortunately, on approach, Serenity’s engines fail and she begins to plummet towards the surface. If the ship accelerates at 1.8g, what is the mass of the planet? What would the acceleration of the ship be at 350 km? Is a constant acceleration safe to assume? Assume that the average acceleration over the 50 km, what is the velocity of Serenity at the height of 350-km? Upon entry, the ship hits the atmosphere at 350 km (with a density of 0.1 kg m-3). The ship slows to a terminal velocity of 1550 m/s. How big is the heat shield that slows the ship? How quickly does the ship slow (ignore gravity)?

Suppose a body of mass (m) falls from a height (h) under gravity. It lands on a frictionless spring with spring constant (k). Which of the following expressions represents the spring compression (length change) at the time the falling body has come to rest? O (mgh)/(k) O (1/2)k1/2 ((mgh3)/(k))1/2 O (2mgh)/(k))1/2
An exuberant 30 lb beagle awaiting dinner jumps to a height of 2.5 feet once every 4 seconds. The beagle continues this for 5 minutes. If the beagle is 20% efficient at converting kibble calories into motion, how many grams of kibble will it need to fuel this activity? Dry canine fare, for the most part, contains roughly 97 Calories for each 1 ounce. From the waste heat, how much (degC) will the beagle's temperature increase (all else equal and no heat loss to the surroundings)? Remember a food Calorie is actually a kcal.
