Challenge? Question:
A space cowboy is standing on the surface of a spherical asteroid of mass 1000kg and volume 1ML and is moving through space at 1000ms-1. He launches a 100g rock directly upwards and it reaches a maximum height of 1125m, it then falls down...
You have plenty of info :)
time to max height (i.e., Vy = 0) = 3.75s (half of total time of flight) , assuming it is on Earth, you can find Uy and hence you can find delta_Y

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive
If the probe is a distance of 'r' fron Saturn, think about an expression for the distance away from Jupiter :-)
If ur really stuck, I will put up working :-)
re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive
2 questions.
1: determine the gravitational force acting on the probe at its current location.
2: determine the distance away from Saturn which it must be in order to experience no NET gravitational force
:)
Not too far ahead! Even if you just stay one or two lessons ahead, so that when you get into class, you already have an underlying understanding of the concept and you can ask higher-order questions.
You should be able to use either. If the numbers given are accurate, the value will come out to be exactly the same. Just make sure for both equations, you show where they came from
Obvs reference to my basketball skills :)
Hahaha :)
Didn't we use t-formula to get it out eventually? LoL
Or Auxillary Angle.. I can't remember, LoL.
I had better brush up on that question before we I through it next week! Haha

Note that 45 degrees is only max range if there's no change in y displacement! I.e., starts on ground, finishes on ground
