A4.0×1010kg asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady 16 km/s. to save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. the rocket generates 5.0×109n of thrust. the rocket is fired when the asteroid is 4.0×106km away from earth. you can ignore the earth’s gravitational force on the asteroid and their rotation about the sun. part a: if the mission fails, how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth? part b: the radius of the earth is 6400 km. by what minimum angle must the asteroid be deflected to just miss the earth? part c: what is the actual angle of deflection if the rocket fires at full thrust for 300 s before running out of fuel?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
