A boy is playing on the beach. He lifts a bucket of sand 85cm above the ground. If the bucket of sand has a mass of 6500g:

1. How much gravitational potential energy does the sand have?

2. He drops the bucket. What is the velocity of the bucket the instant before it hits the ground?

Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a beach, and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use, however, is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the beach below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and he knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about  ?0=32.9 m/s.  Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball (with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory), and watches...

(a) A superball of mass 0.1kg is dropped from a height of 3 meters above the floor. It then bounces up to a height of 2.6 meters. Find the velocity of the ball the instant before it reaches ground level. (Hint: use energy equations) (b) Calculate the velocity the ball must have after the bounce at the instant it leaves the ground the reach the height of 2.6 meters. (c) Use these velocities to calculate the change i. momentum of...

To learn to use conservation of energy with the Newtonian form for gravitational potential energy. Planet X, a planet with no atmosphere, has a radius of 5.00×106 m and an unknown mass. You drop an object from rest from a distance of 400 km above the surface and find that it has a speed of 3010 m/s just before it hits the ground. Solve for the mass of planet X.
