The escape velocity of a rocket from the earth is 11kms^-1. Taking the acceleration due to gravity as 9.8ms^-2, calculate the radius of the earth.

Ahot-air balloon is 11.0 m above the ground and rising at a speed of 7.00 m/s. a ball is thrown horizontally from the balloon basket at a speed of 9.00 m/s. ignore friction and air resistance and find the speed of the ball when it strikes the ground.

Car batteries are often rated in amp-hours. this rating indicates the quantity of charge that can pass through the battery before the battery's chemical energy must be restored by the car's generator or some other source. the amp-hour unit is convenient for simple calculations. for example, a 60-amp-hour battery can supply a current of 1.0 a for 60 h (or 60 a for 1.0 h) before going dead. find the energy stored in the following. (a) a 58 a-h, 10 v car battery(b) a 1.3 a-h, 1.7 v flashlight battery

In set c, explain the difference in the magnitudes of the gravitational forces between the two pairs of objects
