From what height above the surface of the earth should an object be dropped to initially experience an acceleration of 0.54g? (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ∙ m2/kg2, Mearth = 5.97 × 1024 kg, Rearth = 6.38 × 106 m)

Three solid, uniform, cylindrical flywheels, each of mass 65.0 kg and radius 1.47 m, rotate independently around a common axis through their centers. Two of the flywheels rotate in one direction at 8.94 rad/s, but the other one rotates in the opposite direction at 3.42 rad/s. Calculate the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system.

Two vehicles approach a right angle intersection and then suddenly collide. After the collision, they become entangled. If their mass ratios were 1:4 and their respective speeds as they approached the intersection were both 13 m/s, find the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the wreck.

A spaceship with a mass of 2.8 × 106 kg is traveling toward two spherical asteroids, each with a mass of 5.0 × 1016 kg, that are 40 km apart center-to-center. Its path is perpendicular to the line joining the asteroids and is aimed at the midpoint of that line. What is the net gravitational force exerted by the asteroids on the spaceship when the spaceship is 30 km away from that midpoint? (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ∙ m2/kg2)
