When an object that has been thrown into the air reaches its maximum height, which is true?
a. its velocity is zero. b. it is at its terminal velocity. c. it is not in free fall. d. its acceleration is zero.

Calculate the kinetic energy of earth due to its spinning about its axis. krot = j compare your answer with the kinetic energy of the orbital motion of earth's center of mass about the sun. assume earth to be a homogeneous sphere of mass 6.00 1024 kg and radius 6.40 106 m. the radius of earth's orbit is 1.50 1011 m.

A500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 j from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field strength g=9.8n/kg, how high is the cliff?

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
