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.
