Each Voyager spacecraft was accelerated toward escape speed from the Sun by the gravitational force exerted by Jupiter on the spacecraft. (a) Is the gravitational force a conservative or a nonconservative force? (b) Does the interaction of the spacecraft with Jupiter meet the definition of an elastic collision? (c) How could the space-craft be moving faster after the collision?
A 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth? b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?
