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.
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.28 × 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.660 x 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.50 x 10-7 kg. Do not neglect the gravitational force.
