I. Solve the following problems and answer the following questions. Show all your work and provide answers rounded off to the appropriate number of significant digits. Explain your reasoning when required in a maximum of a 5 lines paragraph. 2. The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the earth. The telescope goes from being stationary to traveling at a speed of 1700 miles/s in 0.30 hours. What is the acceleration of the satellite in m/s2?

we need answer choices

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

mass:

note: to earn full marks when solving science word problems, you must show your work:

formula.

example:

given values:

mass = 0.3 kg.

you get 2.3=1.21*\frac{a}2 or 4.6=1.21a or a=3.802 (b)
