An object has a velocity (4.69 m/s)i + (-4.4 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. In a time of 5.5 s its velocity becomes (-2.22 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. 1) If the mass of the object is 3.31 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 5.5 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.

The highest spot on Earth is Mt. Everest, which is 8850 m above sea level. If the radius of the Earth (to sea level) is 6370 km, how much does the magnitude of g change between sea level and the top of Mt. Everest? (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2, and the mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg.)
Mass of an apple is 102 g. Calculate its weight if g ≈ 9.8 m/s2 The value 9.8 m/s2 is the average acceleration of a falling object due to the force of gravity on Earth. In SI weight base unit is kg⋅ m⋅ s−2 or newton (N).
An object with mass m is dropped from rest and we assume that the air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object. If s(t) is the distance dropped after t seconds, then the speed is v = s'(t) and the acceleration is a = v'(t). If g is the acceleration due to gravity, then the downward force on the object is mg − cv, where c is a positive constant, and Newton's Second Law gives m(dv/dt)=mg-cv Solve this as a linear equation. (Use v for v(t).) What is the limiting velocity? lim t → ∞ Find the distance the object has fallen after t seconds. (Use s for s(t).)
