She walked to thenearest forest to find the tallest tree she could climb, safely of course. She wanted tosee which object would hit the ground first: A rock or a feather. The young girlcarefully climbed up into the tree, stuck her arms straight out and dropped the twoobjects at the exact same time. To her surprise, the rock hit the ground first. "Thefeather is not heavy at all though," she thought to herself.1. What force was acting on both objects?2. Why does the rock hit the ground before the feather? What force is acting onthe feather other than gravity?3. Would the outcome be different if she dropped two solid balls from the top ofthe tree at the same time?

2. A rocketship of mass mR = 2000 kg tows an asteroid full of valuable minerals with a mass mA = 500kg with a rope (space rope, or something). The two are out in the far reaches of space, so thegravitational force from the Earth and other planets can be ignored.The asteroid is under the influence of the force of tension from the rope. The rocket is also underthe influence of the rope’s force, and it’s also being thrust forward by the force of its engine. Therocket and asteroid both have an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 (a) What is the strength of the force of the tension in the rope? (b) What is the strength of the engine’s force on the rocket, and in which direction does it point?
