Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

Question

Before they were decommissioned, the NASA space shuttles required two solid

rocket boosters (SRBs) to launch the shuttle from Earth’s surface. Both SRBs

produced 1.7 x10^7 N at liftoff. The combined mass of a shuttle and rocket

boosters was about 1.5 x 10^6 kg. (5 marks)

(a) Calculate the net acceleration of a space shuttle and rockets at the time of

liftoff.

(b) Calculate the speed of the shuttle and rockets after 10.0 s
