An experimental space cruiser was initially drifting in the -x direction with velocity of 10 m/s. The ion thrusters on the cruiser then fires and provides +5 x 104 N of force on the cruiser for 15 s. If the spaceship has a mass of 11,000 kg, what will its final velocity along the +x direction be?

A 2000-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.4 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight car. If the speed of the loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s, what is the maximum mass of grain that it can accept?
A 747 jetliner lands and begins to slow to a stop as it moves along the runway. If its mass is 3.56×105 kgkg , its speed is 25.5 m/sm/s , and the net braking force is 4.30×105N4.30×105N, what is its speed 8.07 s later?
Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50% heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
