(1) An asteroid is moving along a straight line. A force acts along with the displacement of the asteroid and slows it down. The asteroid has a mass of 3.2 x 10^4 kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 7700 to 5700 m/s. (a) What is the work done by the force? (b) If the asteroid slows down over a distance of 2.2 x 10^6m, Determine the magnitude of the force.

(2) Rocket Man" has a propulsion unit strapped to his back. He starts from rest on the ground, fires the unit, and accelerates straight upward. At a height of 17 m, his speed is 4.9 m/s. His mass, including the propulsion unit, has an approximately constant value of 131 kg. Find the work done by the force generated by the propulsion unit.
