On planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 62.9 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 77.4 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2? 1) 95.24 m/s^2 25.56 m/s^2 3 51.12 m/s^2 4 47.62 m/s^2
A child is standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking a river. The cliff is 8 m above the edge of the river and the river is 20 m wide where the child is located. If the child can throw a rock with a speed of 20 m/s, will the rock make it across the river?
On planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 77.4 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 23.2 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2? A 6.95 m/s^2 B 129.11 m/s^2 C 258.22 m/s^2 D 3.48 m/s^2
If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5×1013 kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the 1.99×1030 kg sun at a speed of 4.5 ×104 m/s. What will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? The orbit of Mars is 2.28×108 km, the orbit of Mercury is 5.79×107 km, and G = 6.67×10-11 N⋅m2/kg2.
An Atwood's machine consists of two masses m₁ and m₂ joined by a light cord which passes over a pulley. Initially, the heavier mass is positioned a distance h above the floor. The masses are released from rest. At what speed are the masses moving when the heavier mass strikes the floor? Here m₁ = 4kg, m₂ = 6kg, and h = 3m. The cord is long enough so that the lighter mass does not reach the pulley. Devices like this are used in the construction of elevators. (3.4 m/s)

In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

On planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 28.5 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 66.2 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2? 76.88 m/s^2 153.77 m/s^2 6.13 m/s^2 12.27 m/s^2
You are working part-time for the GT Sports Media Complex, editing video for the women’s softball team. In one particular clip, a GT player hits a home run over the center field fence. The ball leaves the bat at a height of 4 ft, and crosses the outfield fence (220 ft away) at a height of 10 ft. Logs of the game indicate that the pitch was clocked at 68 mph as it reached the plate. Your frame-by-frame analysis of the 30-frame-per-second video indicate that the ball spent only a single frame in contact with tha bat, and another 126 frames travelling to the outfield fence. A quick internet seach tells you that a typical college softball weighs 0.4 lb. How many pounds of average force act on the ball during ocntact with the bat?
A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.9 x 1010 m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 9.3 × 104 m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6 x 10¹2 m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.) speed= i ! m/s
Question 13: A block of mass M is released at rest and it is under going a circular motion in a path of radius R as shown in Figure 7. The gravitational force acts on the block. Assuming that a friction force of magnitude f = b0²/3 also acts on the block where b is a constant and 0 is the angle with the horizontal as shown in Figure 7 (g is the gravitational acceleration), find the speed of the block when the block is at 0 = 1/6 angular position (sin(7/6) = 1/2 and %3D cos(7/6) = v/3/2). m R f Figure 7
