Isaac Newton imagined shooting a cannonball fast enough that it would orbit the Earth. Assuming this is done near sea level where g = 9.8m/s2, what is the required speed of the cannonball? Radius of Earth = 6.4E6 m and assume no air resistance. You can do this as a circular motion problem where the centripetal acceleration is the same as the acceleration due to gravity.

Water flows uphill in narrowing pipe. The pipe’s initial cross section area is .0024 m2, which narrows to 0.0012 m2. The initial velocity of the water is 0.6m/s. The change in height is 0.25 meters.image00160415f2760415f27.jpga. Use the equation of continuity to find the velocity of water at the top of the pipe. [BLANK-1] m/sb. What is the difference in pressure (P1 – P2) between the top and bottom of the pipe? [BLANK-2] Pa
