To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.
Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

As M=m, then

Where,
m = Mass
G =Gravitational Universal Constant
R = Distance /Radius
PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then



Therefore replacing we have that,

Re-arrange to find v,



Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s
PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

Therefore




Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is 
Answer:
2.75 m/s^2
Explanation:
The airplane's acceleration on the runway was 2.75 m/s^2
We can find the acceleration by using the equation: a = (v-u)/t
where a is acceleration, v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.
In this case, v is 71 m/s, u is 0 m/s, and t is 26.1 s Therefore: a = (71-0)/26.1
a = 2.75 m/s^2
Because its expose to the wires inside that could electrify you.
I believe that the answer is C<span />
To solve for distance use the formula for distance d = st, or distance equals speed times time.
distance = speed x timeSpeed
so the answer is 240 miles per hour.
