*17. CD A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be indepen- dently adjusted. When the engines are fired simultaneously and each ap- plies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 28 s to travel a certain distance. How long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular?

As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume thatonly two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exertedby the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A recordChinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg.If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaksthe surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after twothirdsof its length has left the surface, assume constant accelerationand determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b)the magnitude of the force F during this interval.
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3780-kg space tug and a 6940-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 611 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 571 m apart. How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet?
