A distant planet has a mass of 5.00 x 1023 kg and a radius of 6.00 x 106 m. Someone is standing on the surface of the planet and throws a rock straight up with initial speed of 7.0 m/s. What is the maximum hight reached by the rock above the point from where it was thrown?
One side of the roof of a house slopes up at 37 deg. A roofer kicks a round, flat rock that has been thrown into the roof by a neighborhood child. The rock slides straight up the incline with an initial speed of 15 m/s. The coef. of friction between the rock and the roof is 0.40. The rock slides 10.0 m up the roof to its peak. It crosses the ridge and goes into free fall, following a parabolic trajectory above the far side of the roof, with negligible air resistance. Determine the maximum height the rock reaches above the point where it was kicked.
