Question

All problems must include: a sketch, a force diagram (or more than one if neces- sary), and a list of knowns and unknowns for full credit.

Captain Marvel is at rest in deep space (far enough from any star that any gravitational forces are negligable), enjoying the view of a distant nebula. Her mass is 85 kg. She applies 1500 kN of force to herself with her energy beams for 30 s, and then coasts for 5000 km.

a. What is the total distance she travels?

b. How long does it take her to travel this distance?
