Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an automobile weighing 2135 lb and traveling at 55 mph. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, 1 lb = 453.59 g)

Space vehicles traveling through earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. the resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. suppose a spherical metallic satellite 1.3 m in diameter accumulates 3.0 µc of charge in one orbital revolution. (a) find the resulting surface charge density. (b) calculate the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface of the satellite, due to the surface charge.

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?

The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/s. the orbital period is 137 d. a) what is the mass of the star alpha? b) what is the mass of the star beta?
