[QUOTE="shepherd882, post: 6078219, member: 651442"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] An object with mass 100 kg moved in outer space. When it was at location < 9,-24,-4 > its speed was 3.5 m/s. A single constant force < 250,400,-170 > N acted on the object while the object moved from location < 9,-24,-4 > m to location < 15,-17,-8 > m. Then a different single constant force < 140,250,150 > N acted on the object while the object moved from location < 15,-17,-8 > m to location < 19,-24,-3 > m. What is the speed of the object at this final location? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Kf = Ki + W1 + W2 W = F*displacement [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] W1 = <250, 400,-170>*<6,7,-4> = 4980J W2 = <140,250,150>*<4,7,5> = 3060J Kf = Ki + W1 + W2 1/2(100)vf^2 = 1/2(100)(vi)^2 + W1 + W2 1/2(100)vf^2 = 1/2(100)(3.5)^2 + 4980 + 3060 50vf^2 = 612.5 + 8040 vf^2 = 173.05 vf = 13.2 m/s (the answer's supposed to be 10.2 m/s) Thanks in advance!
