Problems 44 and 45 are paired. C A model rocket is shot straight up. As it reaches the highest point in its trajectory, it explodes in midair into three pieces with velocities indicated by the arrows in Figure P10.44, as viewed from directly above the explosion. Rank the mass of each piece in order from smallest to largest and justify your answer. FIGURE P10.44 Problems 44 and 45.
Professional Application Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50103 kg (a) Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.
