Question
An asteroid is moving along a straight line. A force acts along the displacement of the asteroid and slows it down. The asteroid has a mass of 4.8× 104 kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 7700 to 5600m/s. (a) What is the work done by the force? (b) If the asteroid slows down over a distance of 1.4× 106 m determine the magnitude of the force.

The (non-conservative) force propelling a 1.10 x 10-kg car up a mountain road does 7.50 x 106 J of work on the car. The car starts from rest at sea level and has a speed of 26.0 m/s at an altitude of 2.20 x 102 m above sea level. Obtain the work done on the car by the combined forces of friction and air resistance, both of which are non-conservative forces.
