Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.8 x 1023 kg, a radius of 2.7 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. a 10 kg space probe is to

be launched vertically from its surface. (a) if the probe is launched with an initial kinetic energy of 5.0 x 107 j, what will be its kinetic energy when it is 4.0 x 106 m from the center of zero? (b) if the probe is to achieve a maximum distance of 8.0 x 106 m from the center of zero, with what initial kinetic energy must it be launched from the surface of zero?

To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

A paper airplane is thrown westward at a rate of 6 m/s. The wind is blowing at 8 m/s towards the north. Which of the following d
Andrew [12]

since airplane is thrown towards west with speed 6 m/s

while air is blowing with speed 8 m/s towards north

so here the net speed of air plane will be the resultant of airplane speed and wind speed always

SO here we can say it would be a combination of vector along west with must be of length 6 m/s and other vector is towards north with is of length 8 m/s

so correct answer must be 1st option

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/
Eva8 [605]
A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
\Delta U = mg \Delta h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and \Delta h is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, \Delta h=28 m, so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J
