What multiple of Earth's radius RẺ gives the radial distance (from the Earth's center) the projectile reaches if (a) its initial speed is 0.325 of the escape speed from Earth and (b) its initial kinetic energy is 0.325 of the kinetic energy required to escape Earth? (Give your answers as unitless numbers.) (c) What is the least initial mechanical energy required at launch if the projectile is to escape Earth?

A volleyball is hit when it is 4 ft above the groundand 12 ft from a 6-ft-high net. It leaves the point of impact withan initial velocity of 35 ft / sec at an angle of 27 and slips by theopposing team untouched. Suppose that the net is raised to 8 ft. Does this change things? Explain.
You wish to put a 1000-kg satellite into a circular orbit 300 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What speed, period, and radial acceleration will it have? (b) How much work must be done to the satellite to put it in orbit? (c) How much additional work would have to be done to make the satellite escape the earth? In part (b) if we ignored the satellite’s initial kinetic energy due to the rotation of the earth. How much difference does this make? Suppose your personal spacecraft is in a low-altitude circular orbit around the earth. Air resistance from the outer regions of the atmosphere does negative work on the spacecraft, causing the orbital radius to decrease slightly. Does the speed of the spacecraft (i) remain the same, (ii) increase, or (iii)
We investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver,the jet comes in for a landing on solid ground with a speed of 95 m/s, and itsacceleration can have a maximum magnitude of 6.37 m/s2 as it comes to rest.(a) From the instant the jet touches the runway, what is the minimum time intervalneeded before it can come to rest?(b) Can this jet land on a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 kmlong? Show your work using a calculation.
