Xi Physics Gravitation, Work..., System

The document contains a series of physics problems related to potential energy, elastic and inelastic collisions, work-energy theorem, and gravitational effects. It includes calculations for coefficients of restitution, kinetic energy loss, torque, center of mass, and gravitational acceleration at different heights. Additionally, it poses questions about the behavior of particles in harmonic motion and the dynamics of satellites in relation to planetary density.
