A deep space probe travels in a straight line at a constant speed of over 16,000 m/s. Assuming there is no friction in space, if a loose part were released from the spacecraft without a push in any direction, what would happen to it?

A.
It would slowly coast to a stop.
B.
It would head off on its own trajectory.
C.
It would stop immediately as soon as it was no longer in contact with the probe.
D.
It would continue along with the spacecraft.

11. you want to calculate the displacement of an object thrown over a bridge. using -10 m/s2 for acceleration due to gravity, what would be the total displacement of the object if it took 8 seconds before hitting the water?

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

How would doubling the made of an object change the objects potential energy
