one afternoon a couple walks 7/8 of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 1.65km. they start at the west side of the lake and the head die south to begin with.

a. what is the distance they travelled?

b. what are the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the couples displacment?

A satellite in a circular orbit around the earth with a radius 1.011 times the mean radius of the earth is hit by an incoming meteorite. A large fragment (m = 81.0 kg) is ejected in the backwards direction so that it is stationary with respect to the earth and falls directly to the ground. Its speed just before it hits the ground is 361.0 m/s. Find the total work done by gravity on the satellite fragment. RE 6.37·103 km;...
