Acceleration is the change of velocity, and velocity is the change of distance. The opposite of finding change, or differentiation, is integration.
Acceleration = 1.3 m/s²
Velocity: ∫ 1.3 dx = 1.3x + c m/s
Distance: ∫ 1.3x dx = 1.3x²/2 + c m
Distance run: 1.3*3²/2 = 5.85 m

Answer:
a) K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂
, b) U = - G m M / r
Explanation:
The law of universal gravitation is
F = G m M / r²
Part A
Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
The acceleration is centripetal
a = v² / R₂
G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂
v² = G M / R₂
They give us the density of the planet
ρ = M / V
V = 4/3 π R₁³
M = ρ V
M = ρ 4/3 π R₁³
v² = 4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂
K = ½ m v²
K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)
K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂
Part B
Potential energy and strength are related
F = - dU / dr
∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr
The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1
U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²
U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)
We evaluate for
U - U₀ = -G m M (1 /
- 1 /
)
They indicate that for ri = ∞ U₀ = 0
U = - G m M / r
