Calculate the flight time of a ball moving in parabolic motion, with initial velocity 5.0m/s at angle 30 degrees from the horizontal travelling for 23 metres.

First, you would resolve the initial velocity into horizontal and vertical velocity. Then, using the correct suvat equation, s=ut, you can calculate for t. In this case, t=4.0s to 2 significan figures.

A 100g mass is on a circular turntable spinning at 78 revolutions per minute. The maximum frictional force between the mass and turntable is 0.50N. Find the maximum distance from the center of the turntable at which the mass would stay on the turntable.


What is the minimum initial velocity necessary for an object to leave Earth?


A small ball of mass 150 g is placed at a height of 20cm above the ground on an incline of 35°. It is released and allowed to roll down the slope; what will be the ball's speed when it reaches the ground? Assume friction and air resistance can be ignored.


Newton's Law of Gravitation states: F=GMm/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant (6.67×10−11m^3kg^−1s^−2). Kepler's Third Law, states t^2=kR^3. The mass of the sun is 1.99x10^30kg. Find the value of k and its units
