A mysterious force acts on all particles along a particular line and always points towards a particular point P on the line. The magnitude of the force on a particle increases as the cube of the distance from that point, that is, F∝ r3, if the distance from the P to the position of the particle is r. It has been determined that the constant of proportionality is 0.23 N/m3, i.e. the magnitude of the force on a particle can be written as 0.23r3, when the particle is at a distance r from the force center. Find the magnitude of the potential energy, in joules, of a particle subjected to this force when the particle is at a distance 0.21 m from point P assuming the potential energy to be zero when the particle is at P. PE= ?

The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn’t need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS’s sails was measured to be 1.12 mN. If this were the only force acting on the 290 kg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 6 months of flight?
A bowl of apples is resting on a table. The bowl is not moving (it is not accelerating) even though the Earth is pulling down on the bowl. This gravitational force on the bowl is half of a pair of forces that are related by Newton's Third Law. We call a pair of forces like this a third law pair. Which, if any, of the following choices is the other half of that third law pair? O The force the bowl exerts on the table. O The force the table exerts on the bowl. O The force the apples exert on the bowl. O The force the bowl exerts on the apples. O None of the above is the other half of the pair.
