A planet has a mass of 4.39e78 kg, with a radius of 9.1e33 m, A child throws a rock at 10m/s at an angle of 60°. This planet rotates around a star that is 2.0e56 m away from the planet. find the speed of the rock relative to the star after 2s of flight in the solar system.

There is not enough information lmao

How does the range of a projectile change with an increase in the launch angle, assuming the initial velocity remains the same?

What is an increase in range?

300

Direction of torque

How is curvature of a projectile’s trajectory related to circular motion?

Gravitational force in a projectile is equivalent to centripetal force in circular motion.

A 7kg infant in a stroller weighing 3 kg, is headed straight at a brick wall 20 metres away. Turning sharply at 15 m/s, producing 80N of force, following a circular motion. Does the infant hit the wall?

Why does the baby hit the wall?

If the magnitude of centripetal force on an object remains the same but the radius of its path is increased, what will be the resulting effect on its period?

What is an increase in period?

Projectile X is launched from a height.

Projectile Y is launched from the ground with the same angle and initial velocity.

Compare the trajectories and list the factors influencing the path.

X has a further range and max height. 

Factors: introducing an initial height thus increasing time of flight.

A 5kg baby is sliding from a major highway via a curved bank at 89.995 degrees (important) from the horizontal. The radius of the curve is 2500m.

What is the maximum velocity of the baby for it to safely go around the curve to 2 decimal places?

What is 3726.47m/s?
