Chapter 5, Problem 72AP

Two small forces, ${\stackrel{\to }{\text{F}}}_1=-2.40\text{<mover accent="true"> <mi> i </mi> <mo> ^ </mo> </mover>}-6.10t\text{<mover accent="true"> <mi> j </mi> <mo> ^ </mo> </mover> N}$ and ${\stackrel{\to }{\text{F}}}_2=8.50\text{<mover accent="true"> <mi> i </mi> <mo> ^ </mo> </mover>}-9.70\text{<mover accent="true"> <mi> j </mi> <mo> ^ </mo> </mover> N}$ , are exerted on a rogue asteroid by a pair of space tractors. (a) Find the net force. (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the net force? (c) If the mass of the asteroid is 125 kg, what acceleration does it experience (in vector form)? (d) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration?
