A projectile is shot directly away from Earth's surface. Neglect the rotation of the Earth. What multiple of Earth's radius RE gives the radial distance (from the Earth's center) the projectile reaches if (a) its initial speed is 0.325 of the escape speed from Earth and (b) its initial kinetic energy is 0.325 of the kinetic energy required to escape Earth? (Give your answers as unitless numbers.) (c) What is the least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth? (a) Number i (b) Number i (c) Number i Units Units Units ✪ î

The figure shows n spheres of equal mass m suspended in a line by wires of equal length so that the spheres are almost touching each other. If sphere 1 is released from the dashed position and strikes sphere 2 with a velocity v₁, write an expression for the velocity Vn of the nth sphere immediately after being struck by the one adjacent to it. The common coefficient of restitution is e. What is the velocity of sphere 21 immediately after being struck by sphere 20 if v₁ = 4.2 m/s and e = 0.67? AIL Answer: V21 = i th m/s

Equations of Dependent Motion: Rectangular Coordinates Learning Goal: The blocks A and B shown are initially at rest and have masses of mA = 225 kg and mp 117 kg Neglect the mass of the rope and pulley system and assume block B moves only in the vertical direction, parallel to the y-axis.
