In a futuristic scenario, you are assigned the mission of making an enemy satellite that is in a circular orbit around Earth inoperative. You know you cannot destroy the satellite, as it is well protected against attack, but you can try to knock it out of its orbit so it will fly away and never return. What is the minimum amount of work ?W applied to the satellite that is required to accomplish that? The satellite's mass and altitude are 969 kg969 kg and 241 km.241 km. Earth's mass and radius are 5.98×1024 kg5.98×1024 kg and 6370 km.
A child of mass m = 16 kg slides down a slide of height h = 2.7 m without friction. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. a)Write an expression for the child's total mechanical energy, E, at the top of the slide, in terms of the variables in the problem and the acceleration due to gravity g. b)Calculate the change in the child's potential energy, ΔU in joules, from the top to the bottom of the slide at ground level (i.e. ΔU = Uground - Utop). c)What is the child's final speed, vf in m/s?
During a rockslide, a 390 kg rock slides from rest down a hillside that is 460 m long and 300 m high. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the hill surface is 0.24. If the gravitational potential energy U of the rock-Earth system is set to zero at the bottom of the hill, what is the value of U just before the slide?1.15×106 J How much mechanical energy is dissipated by frictional forces during the slide? What is its speed then? What is the kinetic energy of the rock as it reaches the bottom of the hill?

A 28 kg object is located 2 meters above the ground. Calculate the object's gravitational potential energy (in Joules) relative to the ground. Your Answer:
A bead of mass m sits on a frictionless helical wire whose shape is given by x = 4 cos(0), y = 4 sin(0), z = -50. After the bead is released from rest at z = 0 it slides down due to the gravitational force Fg = = -mg k. b) What is the energy before it is released? E = a) Denoting the speed of the bead as u, give the formula for the energy of this bead. E= * m V= Z=0 c) Give the speed of the bead when it has rotated about the z- axis n times: Here frictionless means that there is no loss of energy due to reaction forces or air resistance.

A 1,060 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space? The work done by the Moon's gravitational field is equal to the negative of the change of potential energy of the meteor-Moon system. You can assume the meteor comes from infinitely far. What is the final distance of the meteor, if it lands on the Moon's surface? You will need to look up two physical characteristics of the Moon to solve this problem. J

On the first Moon landing, an astronaut dropped a mass to measure the acceleration of objects in free fall on the Moon. A mass of 0.500 kg that was dropped from a height of 1.50 m reached the Moon's surface in 1.36 s. What was the initial gravitational potential energy of the mass, relative to the surface of the Moon? Note: g on the Moon is not 9.81 N/kg.
