In the far future, astronauts travel to the planet Saturn and land on Mimas, one of its 62 moons. Mimas is small compared with the Earth's moon, with mass Mm = 3.75 ✕ 1019 kg and radius Rm = 1.98 ✕ 105 m, giving it a free-fall acceleration of g = 0.0636 m/s2. One astronaut, being a baseball fan and having a strong arm, decides to see how high she can throw a ball in this reduced gravity. She throws the ball straight up from the surface of Mimas at a speed of 43 m/s (about 96 mph, the speed of a good major league fastball)." Required:
a. Predict the maximum height of the ball assuming g is constant and using energy conservation. Mimas has no atmosphere, so there is no air resistance.
b. Now calculate the maximum height using universal gravitation.
c. How far off is your estimate of part (a)? Express your answer as a percent difference and indicate if the estimate is too high or too low.

5submission this assignment is worth 20 points total. you are required to submit the following by next lab: 1. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular velocity ω2 = θ˙ 2 as a function of θ1, ω1 = θ˙ 1 and α. you must show all your work to receive credit. 2. (2 points) use the result of problem#1 to plot ω2 over 0 ≤ θ1 ≤ 360deg with ω1 = 360deg/sec. do this for α = {10,30}deg. show the results on the same plot and properly label the axes, title, legend. for this you can use matlab or ms excel. 3. (3 points) determine the equation for the output angular acceleration ω˙ 2 and create a plot similar to the one in problem#2. 4. (10 points) submit plots of the results (ω2 and ω˙ 2) obtained from creo/mechanism and compare them to results of problem#2 and problem#3. note that you should do these comparisons for the two cases with α = {10,30}deg. 5. (2 points) provide a brief explanation of the results. did they match? what are the implications as misalignment angle increases?
