Show, using the focus-directrix property for an ellipse, that PS +PS'=2a where P is a point on the ellipse and S and S' are the two foci.

The focus diretrix property for an ellipse is PS/PD=e. Now this is also the case for the other directrix and focus, so PS'/PD'=e. Now we can rearrange these equations to find a formula for PS +PS', PS +PS...

A phone is knocked off a table 800cm of the ground. If the phone is 650g a) what is the gravational potential of the phone? b)what speed will the phone hit the floor at? c)How long will it take for the phone to hit the floor?

UNITS - SI UNITS: 800cm --> 0.8m 0.65kg

a) Ep= mg(change) height

Ep=0.65kg * 9.81m/s² * 0.80m

Ep=5.10 Joules (J)

b) Gravational Potential = Kinetic energy
