Chapter 5, Problem 1PCE
An object of mass m is initially at rest. After a force of magnitude F acts on it for a time T, the object has a speed U. Suppose the mass of the object is doubled, and the magnitude of the force acting on it is quadrupled. In terms of T, how much time does it take for the object to accelerate from rest to a speed U now?

An object has a velocity (3.5 m/s)i + (-4.76 m/s)j + (4.68 m/s)k. In a time of 3.21 s its velocity becomes (-3.79 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.68 m/s)k.
If the mass of the object is 6.4 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 3.21 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
