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.

Set the ground level as zero gravitational potential energy. Use
conservation of energy to solve for the final velocity of the
sliding block on the frictionless surface (it will be a function of
the incline height, ℎ). Note: the block starts from rest. Show your
work below or on your own separate page.

Interplanet Albert has found a new planet that makes him happy,
but he wants to learn more about it. He stands on the surface of
the planet and drops a small rock from a height of 2.2 m. The rock
hits the ground 0.458 s later. If the radius of the planet is 9.2 x
107 m, what is the mass of the planet (in kg)?

A bowling ball has a mass of 4.55 kg.
What is the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative
to ground if we raise it to a
height of 10.0 m?
If we drop the ball from an initial height of 10.0m, how fast
will it be going when it hits
the ground?
How fast will the ball be going when it is halfway to the
ground?
