A gas-powered model airplane has a mass of 2.50 kilograms. A student exerts a force on a cord to keep the airplane flying around her at a constant speed of 18.0 meters per second in a horizontal, circular path with a radius of 25.0 meters. Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal force exerted on the airplane to keep it moving in this circular path. Calculate the kinetic energy of the moving airplane.

A 1,060 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space? The work done by the Moon's gravitational field is equal to the negative of the change of potential energy of the meteor-Moon system. You can assume the meteor comes from infinitely far. What is the final distance of the meteor, if it lands on the Moon's surface? You will need to look up two physical characteristics of the Moon to solve this problem. J
An object whose mass is 10 lb is projected straight upward from the surface of the earth and reaches a height of 100 ft when its velocity reaches zero.
