It is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the "size" of units. Consider the following objects and calculate their kinetic energy.

A ladybug weighing 28.5 milligrams flies by your head at 3.65 km/h.

A 6.95-kg bowling ball slides (not rolls) down an alley at 23.7 km/h.

A car weighing 1020-kg is moving at a speed of 45.5 km/h.

Based on your results above, which of the following scenarios below likely describe an object possessing one joule of kinetic energy?

1. A mosquito flying through a swamp

2. An elephant running across a field

3. A beetle walking across a jungle floor

4. A tiger running after prey

5. A cat walking down a sidewalk

After the near spacecraft passed mathilde, on several occasions rocket propellant was expelled to adjust the spacecraft's momentum in order to follow a path that would approach the asteroid eros, the final destination for the mission. after getting close to eros, further small adjustments made the momentum just right to give a circular orbit of radius 45 km (45 × 10^3 m) around the asteroid. so much propellant had been used that the final mass of the spacecraft while in circular orbit around eros was only 545 kg. the spacecraft took 1.04 days to make one complete circular orbit around eros. calculate what the mass of eros must be.
