An electron is moving with an initial speed of 3.2 x 105 m/s toward a proton that is stationary. If the electron is very very far away from the proton initially, what distance from the proton does the electron have twice the speed it did originally? (Answer= 6.14x10^9)
A 2.75 kg ball is dropped straight down on a concrete floor and bounces straight up. At an instant when the ball is in contact with the floor, its acceleration is 34.0 m·s−2 upward. At that instant, calculate the force on the ball that is exerted by the floor.

According to Verne, the aluminum capsule containing the astronauts is accelerated by ignition of nitrocellulose to a speed of 11 km/s along the gun barrel’s length of 220 m. (a) In g units, what is the average acceleration of the capsule and astronauts in the gun barrel? (b) Is that acceleration tolerable or deadly to the astronauts? A modern version of such gun-launched spacecraft (although without passengers) has been proposed. In this modern version, called the SHARP (Super High Altitude Research Project) gun, ignition of methane and air shoves a piston along the gun’s tube, compressing hydrogen gas that then launches a rocket. During this launch, the rocket moves 3.5 km and reaches a speed of 7.0 km/s. Once launched, the rocket can be fired to gain additional speed.
