To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,


Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that



Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
I think its B or D, most likely D.
The constants could be the day because the experiment is all on the same day or the person throwing the pumpkin because it will always be the same perosn
The answer is A) velocity, because velocity is speed and displacement.
Hope this helps
First, convert all the km/hr into m/s
You will get that
initial speed = 20 m/s
Initial speed of Green train = 40 m/s
Initial separation = 950 m
Velocity of approach = 20 - -40 = 60 m/s
relative acceleration = -4 m/s^2
v = u + at
0 = 60 - 4t
t = 15s
s = ut + 1/2 *at * t
s = 60 * 15 - 1/2 *4 * 225
s = 900 - 450
Separation when they stop = 450 m
hope this helps
