Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 2.5 104 kg (about 25 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of ‹ 0, 31, 0 › km/s. As you pass the location ‹ 6, 4, 0 › km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of ‹ 4.0 105, 0, 0 › N for 19 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?)

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
