An astronaut applies a force of 500 N to an asteroid and it accelerates at 7.00 m/s. What is the asteroid's mass? (71 kg) Two ropes are attached to a 40-kg object. The first rope applies a force of 25 N and the second, 40 N. If the two ropes are perpendicular to each other, what is the resultant acceleration of the object? (1.2 m/s?) A 2 000-kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 3 000 N by the ocean tide and a wind force against its sails with magnitude of 6 000 N directed toward the northwest (45 N of W). What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration? (2.2 m/s?) A 2 000-kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 3 000 N by the ocean tide and a wind force against its sails with magnitude of 6 000 N directed toward the northwest (45 N of W). What is the direction of the resultant acceleration? (74 N of W)
