You are participating in a fresh water fishing tournament with the goal of catching the heaviest fish. You are in the middle of the river when you finally get your catch; unfortunately, you realize that you left the spring scales in your car. All you have in the boat are the paddles, your 16 Oz coffee mug, some rope, measuring tape, and a plastic bag. Estimate the mass of the fish (in kilograms) using these items.

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.

On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul = 100 gins, 1 gin = 16 tahils, 1 tahil = 10 chees, and 1 chee =10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Hint: Set up multiple chain-link conversions.)
Ken and Barbie are skating together on a rink at 3.00 m/s. Ken keeps asking Barbie how much she weights. Annoyed, Barbie pushes away from Ken so that she speeds up to 4.0 m/s and he slows down to 2.25 m/s in the same direction. Assuming that the friction is negligible, if Ken's mass is 70 kg, what is Barbie's mass?
