The escape speed from an asteroid whose radius is10 Kmis only 10 m/s . If you throw a rock away from the asteroid at a speed of 20 m/s, what will be its final speed?
Use energy conservation to find the approximate final speed of a basketball dropped from a height of m (roughly the height of a professional basketball player). Why don't you need to know the mass of the basketball?
Calculate the approximate ratio of the binding energy of O2(about 5eV) to the rest energy of O2. Most oxygen nuclei contain 8 protons and 8 neutrons, and the rest energy of a portion or neutron is about 940 MeV. Do you think you could use a laboratory scale to detect the difference in mass between a mole of molecular oxygen (O2)and two moles of atomic oxygen?
You pull your little sister across a 铿俛t snowy 铿乪ld on a sled. Your sister plus the sled have a mass of 20 kg. The rope is at an angle of 35 degrees to the ground. You pull a distance of 50 m with a force of 30 N. How much work do you do?
