A concrete highway curve of radius 60.0 m is banked at a 12.0 ° angle. What is the maximum speed with which a 1300 kg rubber-tired car can take this curve without sliding? (Take the static coefficient of friction of rubber on concrete to be 1.0).
From the figure above, determine the which characteristic fits this collision best.
A rocket of mass m is launched with kinetic energy K0, from the surface of the Earth. How much less kinetic energy does the rocket have at an altitude of two Earth radii in terms of the gravitational constant, G; the mass of the Earth, mE ; the radius of the Earth, RE ; and the mass of the rocket?
v = 38,515 m/s

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: \text{5 km}
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: \text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}
Perform the multiplication: \text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}
Simplify to get the final answer: \boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}
