Two ropes are connected to a 200 kg dinghy. Two cousins each take one rope and pull. When the cousins pull in the same direction, the dinghy accelerates at a rate of 1.33 m/s2 to the east. If they pull in opposite directions, the dinghy has an acceleration of 0.516 m/s2 to the west. Assume the ropes are horizontal, and ignore any other horizontal forces acting on the dinghy. What is the magnitude of the force each brother exerts on the dinghy? (Assume each magnitude is constant in either direction.)larger force Nsmaller force N

The man fires an 80 g arrow so that it is moving at 80 m/s when it hits and embeds in a 8.0 kg block resting on ice. how far will the block slide on the ice before stopping? a 7.1 n friction force opposes its motion.

Your 249 ml cup of coffee is too hot to drink when served at 82 degree celsius. what is the mass of an ice cube taken from a -21 degree celsius freezer, that will cool your coffee to a pleasant 54 degree celsius. specific heat of the water is 4190 j/kg c, specific heat of ice is 2090 j/kg c, heat of fusion of ice is 3.33 x 10^5 j/kg

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?
