An asteroid is moving along a straight line

Reference no: EM13672655

An asteroid is moving along a straight line. A force acts along the displacement of the asteroid and slows it down. The asteroid has amass of 4.9 × 10⁴ kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 7500 to 4800 m/s.(a) What is the work done by the force? (b) If the asteroid slows down over a distance of 1.6 × 10⁶ m decide the magnitude of the force.
