What would be the mass of the planet if the launch speed of a projectile is 7910 m/s that rises vertically above the planet of radius R=6.37×106 m to an altitude equal to 2R radius before coming to rest momentarily? Use conservation of mechanical energy.

An ideal planet of mass M is perfectly smooth and spherical with radius R and with no atmosphere. Express all answers in terms of G, M and R. a. Determine the launch speed that would allow a projectile to leave the surface of the planet without returning (i.e., the “escape speed”). b. If an object is to be launch vertically from the planet’s surface so that it reaches a maximum height of 3R above the surface of the planet, determine...

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.

A ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile of mass m (at point A). The projectile is launched horizontally into a target of mass M which is suspended like a pendulum (point b). When the projectile strikes the target it imbeds. The maximum height reached by the pendulum and projectile together is then measured (point c). . -find the equation describing the collision from point a-->b. (conservation of momentum) - find equation describing the...
