W is the weight of the rock on the asteroid
= GMm /R , M mass of asteroid , m mass of rock
F , force applied by the astronaut on the rock
weight of the rock W always acts down ward, towards the center of the asteroid, the rock moves up until its upward velocity becomes 0 and then falls back
First throw : initial velocity v01
when thrown up with initial velocity v01 , the rock experiences acceleration downward
a = - GM/(R+h)2 , h is the height of the rock, after time t1 h = R, the velocity becomes 0 due to -ve acceleration and then it falls back towards the center.
gravitation force exerted on the rock F = GMm/(R+h)2 , as the rock gets farther form the asteroid, the force decreases.
at t=0 , F = GMm/R2 after t1 , the rock reaches a height h = R
gravitational force F = GMm/4R2
For the second throw, the initial velocity is more then the escape velocity for the asteroid and it has sufficient KE to escape the gravitational pull of the asteroid, the rock has a const velocity after escaping the gravitational pull of the asteroid.
if the initial speed of the rock v > (2GM/R)1/2 , the rock can escape from the asteroid, once it escapes from the gravitational pull , ther is no force acting on the rock and it moves with const. velocity.

Problem 7. A rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 19.0 m/s from the roof of a building that is 50.0 m above the ground. Assume free fall. 1. In how many seconds after being thrown does the rock strike the ground? 2. What is the speed of the rock just before it strikes the ground? 3. What is rock's position 2.00 seconds after the throw? 4. What is rock's velocity after its displacement of -20.0m?
1- A 300 ? mass is attached to a solid 40 ?? long string the other end of which is secured to the ceiling. The mass is given an initial speed which makes it swing around a circular path in the horizontal plane without changing its speed and without changing its height. The object completes 2 revolutions in 2 seconds. A) What is the magnitude of the angular velocity of this circular motion? B) Find the tension in the string....

1. [25 points) Idealized frictionless free fall of an object that is dropped from being at rest at i = 0. For the following question, to model the free fall of a falling rock, assume the usual idealizing simplifications for solving "free fall" problems. Consider the following experiment. A rock with a mass of m= 2 kg is dropped at the time t = 0 from a height of 140 m above ground. Assume that the rock is simply dropped...
6. [10 points) For the following question, to model the free fall of a falling rock, assume the usual idealizing simplifications for solving "free fall" problems. Work with the approximate value g = 9.8 m/s2 for the Earth's gravitational acceleration. Consider the following experiment. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is known worldwide for its nearly four- degree lean. The height of the tower is 55.86 meters from the ground on the low side, and 56.67 meters on the high side....
A spring has a relaxed length of 36 cm (0.36 m) and its spring stiffness is 9 N/m. You glue a 83 gram block (0.083 kg) to the top of the spring, and push the block down, compressing the spring so its total length is 19 cm. You make sure the block is at rest, then at time t = 0 you quickly move your hand away、The block begins to move upward, because the upward forc.e on th€ block by...
