Answer:
A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30
m/s. What is the maximum height reached by
the ball?
The force of gravity between two objects is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation
In this problem, the mass of the object is

, while the Earth's mass is

. Their separation is

, therefore the gravitational force exerted on the object is
Answer:
<em>h = 20 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.
It can be calculated with the equation:
U=m.g.h
Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or
.
The weight of an object of mass m is:
W = m.g
Thus, the GPE is:
U=W.h
Solving for h:

The weight of the owl is W=40 N and its GPE is U=800 J.

h = 20 m
Answer:
The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s
Explanation:
We are been asked to find the escape velocity.
Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.
The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR
For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6
Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s
=11.2km/s
