Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 2.5 x 10 kg (about 25 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of < 0, 28, 0 > km/s. As you pass the location < 4, 6, 0 > km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of < 5.0 x 10, 0, 0>N for 18 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?) 7,- Additional Materials D eBook

Consider a tennis ball of mass 0.040 kg making contact with a racquet at 23.7 m/s for 1.30 ms. If the return speed (assume 1-D motion) is 22.4 m/s, calculate the magnitude of the average force on the ball by the racquet. 0.900 x 10³ N O 1.260 x 10³ N 1.245 x 10³ N O 2.170 x 10³ N O 1.420 x 10³ N
A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P. PE= ?
A frog with some sort of little monster on his back is swimming in a bathtub of split tomato soup. The frog's mass is m1 = 0.0280 kg, and the monster's mass is m2 = 0.0300 kg. The frog propels the monster and himself forward with a constant force of F = 0.440 N and accelerates at a constant rate of a = 2.65 m/s^2. a) What is the resistive force of the split tomato soup on the frog? b) If the frog starts at rest at one side of the bathtub and swims across its length in t = 1.91 s, how long is the bathtub? c) How much work is done by the split tomato soup on the frog?

As a 500-kg Moon lander is descending toward the surface, its thruster fires, exerting an upward force on the lander. At a height of 50 m, the lander's velocity is 6.1 m/s downward. At a height of 5 m, its velocity is 0.5 m/s downward. The Moon's gravitational field strength near its surface is 1.6 N/kg. Assume the mass and thrust of the lander remain nearly constant during the process. Part 1 What is the magnitude of the average net force on the lander during the process that ends at 5 m above the surface? Fnet.y i

A commercial airplane is coming in for a landing. Just before it hits the runway it is moving at 76 m/s. The plane has a mass of 20,000 kg. The runway is 1.6km long and, obviously, the airplane needs to be stopped before it reaches the end of the runway. How large is the braking force the airplane needs to stop safely before the end of the runway?
A 3.196E+3-kg Chevy Suburban on route 422 is stopped at the light in Annville heading eastbound. After the light turns green, the driver puts the pedal to the floor. The engine provides a monstrous 1.647E+4 N of forward force on the Suburban. The vehicle passes by the Allen Theatre at 11.3 m/s. Air resistance and friction contribute a 2.544E+3 N force that opposes the motion. Find out how far (in m) the suburban travels in the 3.80 s after it passes the Allen Theatre.

While walking on water, an arctic wind freezes the water beneath your feet and you now find yourself stuck in the middle of a 15m diameter lake on top of a frictionless layer of ice. Unable to just walk off, you decide to push off your physics book with a force of 80.0N for 0.1s. How long in minutes will it take you to reach the shore if your mass is 75kg?
