- Two spacecraft A and B are traveling directly towards each other, intending to meet to dock together. Mission control on Earth initially sees spacecraft A moving with a speed of 153.5 m/s and spacecraft B moving with a speed of 134.0 m/s. Each spacecraft will need to come to a complete stop when they meet, and each will slow down using its rockets. The rockets on spacecraft A cause it to slow down at a constant rate of 15.1 m/s2, and the rockets on spacecraft B cause it to slow down at a constant rate of 21.0 m/s2. Spacecraft A turns on its rockets first. At what distance d from spacecraft A should spacecraft B turn on its rockets in order for the two spacecraft to meet, have zero velocity relative to the Earth, and arrive at the same time?arrow_forward3 2 3 4 5 t (s) How far does the particle travel between t = 0 s and t = 6 s? %3D It moves 6 meters It moves 24 meters It moves 12 meters It does not move at all It moves 4 meters 6 (s/u) Aarrow_forwardA rocket is moving in a gravity free space with a constant acceleration of 2ms² along +x direction (see figure).

- Please help!! Urgent!! You are playing pool and decide to practice your ability to make trick shots. In this trick shot you are attempting to strike an object ball with the cue ball while the object ball is moving and make the shot. If the object ball is moving directly from you at a speed of 0.10 m/s and you strike the cue ball at 0.50 m/s directly in line with the object ball, then after the cue ball and object ball collide, how fast will they be moving apart relative to one another?

He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 10.4 m/sm/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) is not negligible.
