Two masses are given. Let's say we have a M1 and M2. Let's just say. Let's examine this hypothetical situation. The first mass would be 1.50 kg and the second mass would be 2.00 kg. These two masses would then be separated by a length or we should say a distance of this L = 2.50 m. Let's say we want to place a third mass (immaterial mass) in the middle of the two masses, such that there would be no net force. Find this specific place where this would occur, and to make it easy, find the distance from the first mass towards this third mass

A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.50 104 kg. Its engines fire at t = 0, steadily burning fuel at. 76.7 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.25 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceships (a) acceleration at t = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and (d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.

consider particle A of mass mA being somewhere between particle B of mass mB=2000 kg and particleS of mass mc=1000 kg, at just the right distance so that gravitational attraction to particle B and gravitational attraction to particle C are equal. Is this location nearer Particle B or nearer particle C?

Find the kinetic energy for two masses, m1=(64±3)Kg and m2=(136±4)Kg, traveling together at a velocity v=(5.0±1.5)m/s. Hint: the equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2mv^2, where m is the total mass (m1+m2).
At a particular instant the magnitude of the momentum of a planet is 2.70 × 1029 kg·m/s, and the force exerted on it by the star it is orbiting is 9.7 × 1022 N. The angle between the planet's momentum and the gravitational force exerted by the star is 124°. What is the parallel component of the force on the planet by the star?
The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and moon, the net force on an object will be zero. If the net force is zero a distance 2/3 D from the planet, what is the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon, M/m?
Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00x103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50x103 kg. Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest. Group of answer choices 0.218 m/s 0.195 m/s 0.172 m/s 0.163 m/s
An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station. If the astronaut has a mass of 85 kg and she throws a hammer of mass 4.5 kg at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the approximate resultant velocity that carries her back to the space station?
At some point in its trajectory, a ballistic missile of mass (m) and velocity v0 splits into two equal masses at right angles to each other. Find the velocity of the second mass if its velocity is twice the speed of the first object in terms of v0?
