You build a potato cannon. It has a barrel 1.5 meters long, and want to find out some interesting information about it. With a test fire, you set the cannon to 35 degrees from the ground and fire! The .2 kg potato launches out of the barrel at 30 m/s! How far away do we have to walk to collect our newly formed hash browns?

Hoping for complete solutions since I’m having a hard time with this. Pls skip if unsure or not willing to answer the subitems (these are all connected for one item). Thanks in advanced! Jeri‎c, a profes‎sional ro‎oftop fu‎tbol player, k‎icked a 0.550 [kg] ball off a ro‎oftop that is 90.0 [m] off thegro‎und, at 20.0 [m/s] oriented 30.0° abo‎ve his ho‎rizon. His pal, Jo‎shua, caught the b‎all from a win‎dow at adist‎ant bu‎ilding that is 40.0 [m] off the gro‎und. Joshu‎a then rele‎ased the ball from this hei‎ght and let the ba‎llfall to the ground. A.

Two masses are given. Let's say we have a M1 and M2. Let's just say. Let's examine this hypothetical situation. The first mass would be 1.50 kg and the second mass would be 2.00 kg. These two masses would then be separated by a length or we should say a distance of this L = 2.50 m. Let's say we want to place a third mass (immaterial mass) in the middle of the two masses, such that there would be no net force. Find this specific place where this would occur, and to make it easy, find the distance from the first mass towards this third mass
After consuming all of its nuclear fuel, a massive star can collapse to form a black hole, which is an immensely dense object whose escape speed is greater than the speed of light. Newton's law of universal gravitation still describes the froce that a black hole exerts on objects outside it. A spacecraft in the shape of a long cylinder has a length of 100m, and its mass with occupants is 1000kg. It has strayed too close to a black hole having a mass 100 times that of the sun. If the nose of the spacecraft points toward the center of the black hole, and if the distance between the nose of the spacecraft and the black hole's center is 10km (a) determine the total force on the spacecraft. (b) What is the difference in the force per kilogram of mass felt by the occupants in the nose of the ship versus those in the rear of the ship farthest from the black hole?

I keep getting this wrong despite working it out many times. Can I please get some insight on the right approach? A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed ?esc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ?=3.32×106 g/m3 and volume ?=2.40×1012 m3 . Recall that the universal gravitational constant is ?=6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 .
