Question

A space station contains 11 modules each with a mass of 13 000 kg, moves at a speed of 4.0
km/s. It is equipped with an emergency collision avoidance system whereby an explosive charge
can be detonated to release one of the modules. The collision alarm sounds, and the
commander detonates a charge, releasing one of the modules at a speed of 1400 km/h
with respect to the station, directed opposite to the original direction of travel of the station.
Find the resulting change in the speed of the station.

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 51 km/skm/s . To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 140 kmkm directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 30 km/skm/s . Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 6.7 ss . The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship? Assume the acceleration is constant.

Imagine that you are going for a ride in a hot air balloon at the Canowindra Balloon Challenge. While the balloon is rising at a speed of 2.0 m/s, you throw a small ball down at a speed of 5.0 m/s relative to your body. A person who measures the ball's velocity at the instant of release will find that the ball's velocity relative to the ground at that instant is O a. 3.0 m/s, up. O b. 2.0 m/s, up. O c. 3.0 m/s, down. O d. 12.8 m/s, down. O e. 5.0 m/s, down.
