A construction worker riding an open elevator is moving upward with a speed of 6.0 m/s. When he is 42 m above the ground he accidentally drops a hammer. What are the maximum height reached by the hammer, the time it takes for the hammer to fall to the ground and speed of the hammer when it hits the ground? Please answer all parts, thank you!

a) Jupiter's satellite orbits the planet on a nearly circular path with a radius of 420,000 km and completes its orbit every 1.769 days. Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to find the mass of Jupiter.
b) Knowing Jupiter's mass, and that it orbits the Sun on the average (it has an elliptical orbit with an eccentricity of 0.05) at 7.8×108 km from the Sun in 11.86 years, what is its angular momentum?
c) Compare Jupiter's orbital angular momentum to the angular momentum of the rotating Sun, which is a spinning sphere of radius 695,700 km and mass 1.99×1030 kg that completes a turn in 25 days

A number of years ago at an ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium, there was a presentation from a school that created a data communications cart on wheels. This cart, amongst other things, contained a large spool of twisted pair wire, an oscilloscope, and a signal generator. The instructors would use the signal generator to insert a square wave (digital signal) into one end of the spool, and then connect the oscilloscope to the other end of the spool of wire. By observing the received signal on the oscilloscope they would see what happened to the signal as it propagated through the coil of twisted pair wire.

You are exploring a new planet, Uzaz. You have a string 1.2 m long, and a small object. You suspend the object from the string, and you observe that small-amplitude pendulum swings have a period of 1.987 s. You have determined the radius of Uzaz is 7.2 × 106 m. You then launch the object at an angle θ above the horizontal from shoulder-height (1.40 m) with a velocity of 30 m/s; it hits the ground 60.36 m from you. Assume the ground is level and ignore atmospheric resistance.
(a) (5 points) Determine the mass of planet Uzaz.
(b) (4 points) Determine all possible angles θ above the horizontal at which you could have launched the object.
