Emma has a large piece of taffy (1.5 kg) that she wants to share with her friend Camila. However, Emma is having a hard time breaking the piece by herself. So, Emma grabs one end of the taffy while Camila grabs the other end. They both pull on the taffy in opposite directions: Emma pulls with 20 N and Camila with 23 N. Calculate the acceleration and give the direction of the acceleration.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of change in the temperature t(t) of a body is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the medium m(t) and the temperature of the body. that is, startfraction dt over dt endfraction equals upper k left bracket upper m left parenthesis t right parenthesis minus upper t left parenthesis t right parenthesis right bracket , where k is a constant. let kequals0.04 left parenthesis min right parenthesis superscript negative 1 and the temperature of the medium be constant, m(t) font size decreased by 3 equivalent font size decreased by 3 294 kelvins. if the body is initially at 369 kelvins, use euler's method with hequals0.1 min to approximate the temperature of the body after (a) 30 minutes and (b) 60 minutes.

The safe load, l, of a wooden beam of width w, height h, and length l, supported at both ends, varies directly as the product of the width and the square of the height, and inversely as the length. a wooden beam 4 inches wide, 9 inches high, and 240 inches long can hold a load of 6810 pounds. what load would a beam 3 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 144 inches long, of the same material, support? (round off your answer to the nearest integer.)
