    Calculating Force of Asteroid Slowing Down

    Homework Statement The asteroid has a mass of 4.10 x 10^4 kg, and the force causes its speed to change from 7100 m/s to 5700 m/s. If the asteroid slows down over a distance of 1.50 x 10^6 m, determine the magnitude F of the force. Homework Equations w = -3.6736e11 J (I figured...
