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

A 6.0 ✕ 104 kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 12000 m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probe's speed. The retrorockets generate a force of 3.0 ✕ 105 N over a distance of 2400 km. What is the final speed of the probe? m/s
Hello, can you please help me with this physics question? A ball with a mass of 0.17 kg is bounced off a tenis court. Before hiting the ground, the ball is moving at a velocity of (1.4, -8.5)m/s. If the ground exerts a force of 203 N acting upward for a time of 0.0125s, what is the final velocity of the ball leaving the ground of the tenis court? (the y value is positive in the upward direction)
Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 4.0 104 kg (about 40 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of ‹ 0, 30, 0 › km/s. As you pass the location ‹ 6, 9, 0 › km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of ‹ 5.0 105, 0, 0 › N for 20 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?)f = m
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. After traveling down the second hill, the car reaches ground level. It travels across a flat section, where the force of friction is 78.7 N. Point C is located 11.8 meters into the flat section.

A student (m = 58 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of 0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground. H=
Your answer is partially correct. The only force acting on a 4.5 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component F,= -4x N, where x is in meters. The velocity of the body at x = 1.4 m is 10 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the body at x = 3.2 m? (b) At what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 2.0 m/s?
