are you missing the the situations ?

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Andrej [43]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

Recall that work is the amount of energy transferred to an object when it experiences a displacement and is acted upon by an external force. It is given a symbol of W and is measured in joules (J).

W=\vec{F}\cdot \Delta \vec{d}

We can use this formula to determine the work done by very specific forces, generating specific types of energy. We will examine three types of energy in this activity: gravitational potential, kinetic, and thermal. Before we start deriving equations for gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, we should note that since work is the transfer and/or transformation of energy, we can also write its symbol as \Delta E.

Sound though open space (and other compressible media) is composed of compression waves. Lack of any such media, such as the vacuum of space means the sound waves have nothing to propagate through. So there would be no sound. <span>it's also virtually impossible since there's no electricity</span>
