Extra: You have two disks lying flat on ice, one has a string wrapped around the outside edge which unravels as you pull, the other has a string attached to a peg in the center. The discs have equal masses and dimensions and are initially at rest. If you start pulling both strings at the same time with the same constant force, at some time t later which of the two disks has moved further? Or have they both moved the same distance? Explain.
Two planets of equal mass orbit a much more massive star. Planet m 1 moves in a circular orbit of radius r 1 = 10^11 m with a period of 2 years (= 6.3 x 10^7 s). Planet m 2 moves in an elliptical orbit with its closes t distance r 1 and its farthest distance r 2 = 1.8 x 10^11 m. a. Find the period of m 2’s orbit. b. The elliptical orbit has greater energy. Which planet has the greater potential energy at point P? Justify. c. Which planet has the greater speed at point P? Justify. d. How does the speed of m 2 at point P compare with the speed at point A? Justify.

A sun rays take about 8 minutes to reach the Earth surface travelling at constant speed v= 3,0 * 10^8 m/s. How far is earth from the sun?
Wonder Woman and Superman fly to an altitude of 1630 km, carrying between them a chest full of jewels that they intend to put into orbit around Earth. They want to make this tempting treasure inaccessible to their evil enemies who are trying to gain possession of it, yet keep it available for themselves for future use when they retire and settle down. But perhaps the time to retire is now! They accidentally drop the chest, which leaves their weary hands at rest, and discover that they are no longer capable of catching it as it falls into the Pacific Ocean. At what speed does the chest impact the surface of the water? Ignore air resistance, although in the real world it would make a world of difference. The radius and mass of Earth are 6370 km and 5.98×10^24 kg, respectively.
An asteroid of mass 331 kg orbits the sun in a long-period orbit of 225 years. It is currently at its furthest distance from the sun: 1.11 x 10+13 m. It is moving at 184 m/s.When the asteroid makes its closest approach to the sun in another 112 years it will pass within 1.55 x 10+10 m of the sun. How fast will it be going?
At its closest distance from Earth, the moon experiences a gravitational force of 2.22 E 20 N. The mass of the Earth is 5.97 E24 kg. The mass of the moon is 7.35 E22 kg. What is the distance between the Earth and the moon at that point if G = 6.67 E−11 N*m2/kg2? 1. 1.32 E 4 km 2. 3.63 E 6 km 3. 3.63 E 8 km 4. 1.32 E 17 km
A projectile is fired straight upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 33.3m/sec. What is it's speed after 2.8secs?
MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER (a) A spaceship is projected vertically upward from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 6.91 km/s, but unfortunately does not have a great enough speed to escape Earth's gravity. What maximum height does the spaceship reach (in m)? Ignore air resistance. 3952535 (b) A meteoroid falls from a height of 1.91 x 107 m above the surface of the Earth. What is the speed (in m/s) when the meteorite hits the Earth? Assume the meteoroid is initially at rest with respect to the Earth. (Note that a meteorite is a meteoroid that makes it to Earth's surface.) 10698.65 X The fall of the meteorite is the time-reversal of the upward flight of the projectile, so it is described by the same energy equation as in part (a). m/s.

The planet, named 581 c that has a radius that is 1.5 times the radius of Earth. If the acceleration of the gravity on the surface of the planet 581 c, g 581c = 2.22 g Earth. Find the mass of the planet 581 c.
Suppose you conduct an experiment and determine that g = 9.74 m/s² . If you assume that g = 9.81 m/s? at the surface of the earth, how far from the surface are you? Give your answer in units of Re, the radius of the Earth. (Re = 6378 km)
A uniform disk of mass 80 kg and radius 0.5 m is mounted on frictionless bearings so it can rotate freely around an axis through its center. A cord is wrapped around the rim of the disk and pulled with a force of 40 N. Initially it is not spinning. 40 N 40 N (a) How much work has the force done after 8m of the cord have been pulled starting from rest? (b) Now what is the angular speed? (c) Extra If the 40-N force is replaced by a 40-N weight, what is the angular speed of the cylinder after 8.0 m of cord have unwound?
