A NASA probe traveling through interplanetary space has a mass of 81 kg and is traveling at a speed of 29 m/s. When it is at location F = [ -280, -232, 394 ] m it begins firing two booster rockets. The rockets exert constant forces of F1 =[ 90, 150, 195 ] N and F2 = [ 90, -90, -585 ] N, without significantly decreasing the mass of the probe. The rockets fire until the probe reaches location Ff = [ -272, -233, 399] m. a) How much work does booster rocket #1 do during that time? b) How much work does booster rocket #2 do during that time? c) What is the probe's speed when it reaches location F? m/s

Two students are pushing crates across a frictionless floor. The crates are initially at rest. Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?
Case 2: A 450 kg roller coaster car starts at the top of a 35.6 meter high hill, with a velocity of 3.4 m/s. Point B is at the top of a second hill which is 22.7 meters high.

A baseball (m= 150 g) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 43.9 m/s (98.2 mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 52.6 m/s (118 mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.27 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglect the weight of the bat, since it is so much less than the force of the bat. Choose the direction of the incoming ball as the positive direction. Number i Units VO Vf
A baseball with a mass of 148 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 39.1 m/s (87 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.00 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.3 m/s (101 mi/h). Determine the average force exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Vinitial = 10100 X m/s (b) What initial speed is needed so that when the object is far from Venus its final speed is 0 m/s? (This is called the "escape speed.") Vescape = m/s
An applied horizontal force of 100 N pushes against a shopping cart that is initially at rest. Assume this is the only force acting horizontally. Over what distance must this force act in order for the 40 kg shopping cart to reach a speed of 2.5 m/s?
Inside the Apollo spacecraft was the Eagle lunar module, which was used to that astronauts could travel to the lunar surface while the rest of the ship orbited the moon. Upon its return from the moon, the Eagle module reached a speed of 24 m/s at 305 m height. If the total mass was 10.821 kg. What was the force exerted by the ascent motor?
