**Scenario Description:**Chekhov (\(m_c = 60 \, \text{kg}\)), Scotty (\(m_s = 75 \, \text{kg}\)), and Uhura (\(m_u = 55 \, \text{kg}\)) are floating motionless in space near the Enterprise after it has been attacked by Tholians. All three are tethered with massless ropes for safety, with \(L_1 = 4 \, \text{m}\) and \(L_2 = 2 \, \text{m}\). They pull on their ropes to change position. At some later time, they are all again motionless, but their positions have changed as seen in the diagram. The task is to find out how far Uhura moved horizontally.**Diagram Explanation:**- **Before:** - Chekhov (C) is connected to Scotty (S) with a rope of length \(L_1 = 4 \, \text{m}\). - Uhura (U) is connected to Chekhov (C) with a rope of length \(L_2 = 2 \, \text{m}\).- **After:** - The three individuals' positions have changed, but the total length of the ropes \(L_1 + L_2\) remains unchanged at 6 meters.**Calculation:**The problem involves calculating the horizontal movement of Uhura by considering the constraints of the rope lengths and the conserved spacings between the individuals. **Answer:** Uhura moved horizontally \(3.79 \, \text{m}\).

4. In outer space, high above the surface of Mars, a daring rescue is attempted as astronaut Mark Watney hurtles at 3 m/s relative to Commander Melissa Lewis who holds onto one end of an effectively massless tether. When Watney reaches the tether he is traveling perpendicularly to it and is 5 m from Lewis; each of them have a mass of 80 kg. 3 m/s A) In the C.O.M. reference frame for this system, what are the speeds of each astronaut when Watney reaches the tether? B) In this frame, what is the angular momentum of the two astronauts about the TC.O.M.? C) If Watney catches the tether, how much force must Lewis pull on it as they beginning orbiting their C.O.M.? D) To get a sense of the magnitude of this force, supporting what amount of mass on Earth requires this force? E) To rescue him, Commander Lewis then pulls in the tether until she and Watney are only separated by 0.5m. Using the fact that angular momentum is conserved for the two-astronaut- and-tether system, what force does she…

A 2.0-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.9-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +5.6 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.1 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? (b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest? = 0.539 16-16 1

→ A student runs an experiment with two carts on a low-friction track.

Consider two spaceships, initially at rest and separated by 5,000 m. Spaceship 1 has mass 632 kg, and spaceship 2 has mass 374 kg. Spaceship 1 turns on a tractor beam, which pulls spaceship 2 towards it with 231 N of constant force. If this force is the only one present in this system, and taking into account the reaction on ship 1, how much time will it take, in s, for the two ships to touch? (Hint: Solve x1(t) = x2(t)) (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.5336)
Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially, asteroid A has a mass of 2*107 kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3*107 kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*107 kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle.
