The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25
