AP Physics 1 4.1 Gravitational Potential Energy D. The astronaut is able to travel a very far distance x away from the planet-moon system at a constant velocity, needing a total amount of energy E to do so. i. Explain why the jetpack must do work on the astronaut to maintain a constant velocity. ii. Sketch a graph of the force exerted by the jetpack vs. x to keep the astronaut at a constant velocity as she moves away from the planet-moon system. Identify the feature of the graph that could be used to determine the energy used by the jetpack to move the astronaut in this manner. Force More power as distance increases + X Justify your choice. Just start typing here to bring features to your fingertips and get help Tell me more iii. Describe the power required from the jetpack as the astronaut travels away from the planet-moon system. 2x Same power regardless of distance Distance Less power as distance increases AP Physics 1 4.1 Gravitational Potential Energy D.
