An astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an
experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and
density 5.5 × 103 kg m-3 with an initial speed of 3.0 m s-¹. The point of release is 1.2 m
above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the
ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground.

An astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and density 5.5 × 103 kg m3 with an initial speed of 3.0 ms 1. The point of release is 1.2 m above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground.
Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth’s temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earth’s polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flood many coastal areas. Model the polar ice as havingmass 2.30 × 1019 kg and forming two flat disks of radius 6.00 × 105 m. Assume the water spreads into an unbroken thin, spherical shell after it melts. Calculate the resulting change in the duration of one day both in seconds and as a percentage.
