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 3.8×104 kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 6900 to 5400 m/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. (a) Work = (b) F =
