A package of mass 8 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 3.0 x 1020 kg and radius 1.3 x 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very farfrom the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 208 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.7 x 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring?| compression (a positive number) =m

We are given the final speed of mass. We are also given that the mass has escaped the asteroid's…

A spring with spring constant k and equilibrium length zero is attached tothe top of a frictionless hoop of radius R. The spring is stretched and connected to a bead of mass m at the bottom of the hoop. At t = 0 the bead is given an initial speed v0 and the bead moves up the hoop. Find the speed of the bead as a function of position on hoop v(θ).
In 2014, the Rosetta space probe reached the comet Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Although the comet’s core is actually far from spherical, in this problem we’ll model it as a sphere with a mass of 1.0 x 1013 kg and a radius of 1.6 km. If a rock were dropped from a height of 1.0 m above the comet’s surface, how long would it take to hit the surface?

3. A simple pendulum consists of a pendulum bob of mass M at the end of a "mass-less" string of length L. The pendulum bob oscillates back and forth and is moving at speed v when the string is oriented at a constant angle 0 from vertical. Give answers in terms of L, 0, v, M and/or g. This is similar to the vertical circle from the Circular Motion Experiment worksheet except that we are not going in a full circle. a. Draw the free body diagram of forces acting on the pendulum bob. Include a coordinate system on your diagram showing your choice for the +x and +y directions. b. Write out Newton's 2nd law EF = mã for each direction. X: y: c. What is the tangential acceleration of the pendulum bob? d. Determine the tension of the string. e. What is the magnitude of the total acceleration of the pendulum bob?

An asteroid has a mass of m = 2.6 x 106 kg and is approaching Earth. When the asteroid is exactly 3 radii away from the Earth's centre, it's speed relative to the Earth's centre is u = 8.7 x 103 ms-1. The asteroid then falls to the Earth's surface, but remains intact without dissipating any energy as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. If the rotation of the asteroid and the Earth is ignored, what is the kinetic energy of the asteroid just before it hits the ground?
Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.
