A rocket is projected upward from the earth's surface (r = RE) with an initial speed v0 that carries it to a distance r = 1.5 RE from the center of the earth. What is the launch speed v0? Assume that air friction can be ignored.
Planet Roton, with a mass of 9.00 x 1024 kg and a radius of 3600 km, gravitationally attracts a meteorite that is initially at rest relative to the planet, at a distance great enough to take as
infinite. The meteorite falls toward the planet. Assuming the planet is airless, find the speed of the meteorite when it reaches the planet's surface.

A golf ball is launched into the air at an angle. Its horizontal speed is 30 m/s and its vertical speed is 20 m/s. What is its horizontal speed after three seconds? You can ignore friction and air resistance.

Assume that the arrow is so "slick", that there is no friction (or air resistance). Without gravity it would continue to travel at this speed. After 8 seconds it would have traveled 8*140 feet. But, gravity will pull it back to the earth. The gravitational pull is measured as 16t2. So the height at any time t can be measured by the function h(t) = 140t - 16t2. At what time t will the arrow reach it's maximum height?arrow_forward
