Spaceman Spiff is flying his rocket on patrol when he gets a distress call. An asteroid is on a collision course with a space station. The asteroid contains a newly discovered form of life, so Spiff must save both the asteroid and the space station. The easiest way to do this is to land his spaceship on the asteroid upside down so that the main rocket engines will point away from the asteroid. Spiff can then fire his engines and speed the asteroid up enough to that it will pass in front of the space station. If the asteroid has a mass of 18.5 Mkg, how much work Spiff’s rocket engines have to do if he wants to increase the asteroid’s speed by 23 km/s? How much work must his engines do if he decides it would be better to slow the asteroid down by 18.5 km/s?

Aspring with a mass of 2 kg has a damping constant 14 kg/s. a force of 3.6 n is required to keep the spring stretched 0.3 m beyond its natural length. the spring is stretched 0.6 m beyond its natural length and then released. find the position of the mass at any time t. (assume that movement to the right is the positive x-direction and the spring is attached to a wall at the left end.)
