A spring with a fixed spring of K=200 (N/m) was attached to an object of M=8 (kg), which is stagnant on a horizontal ground without friction. An object of m=2 (kg) with the Mcismi shown in the figure is held with the spring x=0.8 (m). How much(m/s) is the speed of mass M when the system is released?

A 1000 kg spacecraft is approaching Jupiter (which is at the origin). The position of the spacecraft is given by the vector RSC = (0.0,-2.533) x 106km. The velocity is given by VSC= (+6.00, +8.00) km/sec. The mass of Jupiter, (MJ=318 MEarth) and MEarth = 5.97 x 1024 kg. A) What is the potential and kinetic energy of the spacecraft (write each to 3 sig figs.) What is the total energy of the spacecraft? Call the total energy Ei. B) Can it escape Jupiter? Justify your answer. C) What is the angular momentum of the spacecraft around Jupiter? Call this Li.

Ship 1 has a mass of 6.50 × 104 kg and a ship 2 is twice as massive. Both have engines that generate the same total force of 9.50 × 106 N.If each ship fires its engine for the same distance, starting from rest and ignoring any change in mass due to whatever is expelled by the engines, calculate the energy of the ship 1 if the engines are fired for 103 m. If each ship fires its engine for the same distance, starting from rest and ignoring any change in mass due to whatever is expelled by the engines, calculate the energy of the ship 2 if the engines are fired for 103 m.
