Two 0.60 kg basketballs, each with a radius of 10 cm, are just touching. Ignore any other gravitational interactions.

(a) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 1.0 m?
_____ J
(b) How much energy is required to change the separation between the centers of the basketballs to 10 m?
_____ J

As usual, if you don't draw the picture, label distances, you'll use the formula incorrectly.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 3 kg, a radius of 25 cm, and a length of 40 cm is rolling across a horizontal floor with a linear speed of 12 m/s. The cylinder then comes to a ramp, and, as it is rolling up this ramp without slipping, it is slowing down. When the cylinder finally comes to a stop and begins rolling back down the ramp, how high is it above the floor?
