for each body, F=ma
So, get the acceleration, and then using
s = 1/2 at^2
add the two distances and find t when their sum is 504m
At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3140-kg space tug and a 5050-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 589 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 504 m apart. How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet?
