Identical satellites X and Y of mass m are in circular orbits around a planet of mass M. The radius of the planet is R. Satellite X has an orbital radius of 3R, and satellite Y has an orbital radius of 4R. The kinetic energy of satellite X is Kx.

1) In terms of Kx, the gravitational potential energy of the planet-satellite X system is

(A) -2Kx

(B) -Kx

(C) -Kx/2

(D) Kx/2

(E) 2Kx

2) Satellite x is moved to the same orbit as satellite Y by a force doing work on the satellite. In terms of Kx, the work done on satellite X by the force is

(A) -Kx/2

(B) -Kx/4

(C) 0

(D) +Kx/4

(E) +Kx/2

Show the work, please.

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. immediately after the collision, the 0.200 kg block is moving at 12.0 m/s in the direction 30° north of east and the 0.400 kg block is moving at 11.2 m/s in the direction 53.1° south of east. use coordinates where the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north.(a) what is the total kinetic energy of the two blocks after the collision (in ) what is the x-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your ) what is the y-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
