One often hears the statement, "Nuclear energy production is fundamentally different from chemical energy production (such as burning of coal) because the nuclear case involves a change of mass." Critique this statement. Discuss the similarities and differences of the two kinds of energy production.
In the given figure what kind of motion is represented by the situation with K + U = A? B? C?Think about the range of rin each situation, For example, Crepresents a circular orbit (constant r).

You bring a boat toward the dock by pulling on a rope with a force of130 N through a distance of 6 M . (a) How much work do you do? (Include the appropriate sign.) (b) Then you slow the boat down by pushing against it with a force of 40 N, opposite to the boat’s movement of. How much work do you do? (Include the appropriate sign.) (c) What is the total amount of work that you do?
A teddy bear is nudged off a window sill and falls to the ground. (a) What is the kinetic energy at the instant it hits the ground? What is its speed? What assumptions or approximations did you make in this calculation?
(b) A flowerpot is nudged off a window sill and falls to the ground. What is the kinetic energy at the instant it hits the ground? What is its speed? How do the speed and kinetic energy compare to that of the teddy bear in part (a)?
