Alex, Ben, and Chris are trying to move a heavy rock of mass 230 kg. Alex pulls the rock North with a force of 360 N, Ben pushes the rock East with a force of 510 N and Chris pulls the rock with a force of 520 N at an angle 20.0 degrees East of North. They end up moving the rock 2.8 meters 50.97 degrees North of East. In the following answer boxes, enter the work done by Alex, Ben and Chris respectively.

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg) and B (mass 12.00 kg, to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is head on, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A. Find...
