A spacecraft cruising in space at a constant velocity of 2000 ft/s has a mass of 25,000 lbm. To slow down the spacecraft, a solid fuel rocket is fired, and the combustion gases leave the rocket at a constant rate of 150 lbm/s at a velocity of 5000 ft/s in the same direction as the spacecraft for a period of 5 s. Assuming the mass of the spacecraft remains constant, determine (a) the deceleration of the spacecraft during this 5-s period, (b) the change of velocity of the spacecraft during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the spacecraft.

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.
