Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2

Astone is dropped with no initial velocity from the top of a cliff and hits the ground a time of 3.9 s later. what is the height of the cliff, in units of meters? you may assume that air resistance is negligible. give the answer as a positive number question 15 a figure skater is rotating at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute. what is the angular speed, in units of rad/s? 200 o 20.9 12000 o 3.33

Imagine that someone pushes one marble toward a motionless marble. would there still be action-reaction forces involved in the collision? how might the marbles’ motions be changed? ?
