A spaceship of mass 100 kg, headed toward Earth, has a speed of 12,000 m/s relative to the planet when it is 5 Earth radii from Earth’s center. Neglect the effects of Earth’s atmosphere on the spaceship. ME=5.98x1024 kg, RE=6.37x106 m, G=6.67x10-11 m3/kg-s2.

Express energy in scientific notation for example 123456 is 1.2346x10^5

Find the initial gravitational potential energy of the system.

Find the kinetic energy of the system.

Find the mechanical energy of the system.

Is it possible to use the energy from two atoms colliding to create a clean burning lasting fuel source with a large amount of force? is it also possible to harness that energy from the two atoms colliding to create a clean energy source that will last for years from just two atoms colliding. is there a possibility to control and store that energy for years but slowly let the energy out enough to power cities cheaper and faster.
