Randall D. Knight — Newton's Theory of Gravity: Problem 65

In Problems 63 through 65 you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to: a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s). b. Draw a pictorial representation. c. Finish the solution of the problem. \[ \frac{1}{2}(100 \text{ kg})v_i^2 - \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \text{ Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2)(7.34 \times 10^{22} \text{ kg})(100 \text{ kg})}{1.74 \times 10^6 \text{ m}} = 0 - \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11} \text{ Nm}^2/\text{kg}^2)(7.34 \times 10^{22} \text{ kg})(100 \text{ kg})}{3.48 \times 10^6 \text{ m}} \]
