A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 400.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1000 m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. Then a small explosion sends the module backward with speed 100.0 m/s relative to the new speed of the shuttle craft. As measured by someone on the main spaceship, by what fraction did the kinetic energy of the module and shuttle craft increase because of the explosion?

In the figure below, a ball of mass m = 61 g is shot with speed v; = 26 m/s into a barrel of spring gun of mass M = 202 g initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at a
point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible.

Galactic Alliance Junior Mission Officer (GAJMO) Bundit Nermalloy is predicting the kinetic energy of a supply spacecraft, which is being moved in one dimension in the tractor beam of the ship named the Jadarian-Ruby, to ensure that the supply spacecraft doesn't damage the spaceport to which
it is being delivered. GAJMO Nermalloy has been instructed to deliver the supply spacecraft with a kinetic energy less than 1010 J (where 1 J = 1 N·m). GAJMO Nermalloy knows that the change in kinetic energy of an object moving in one dimension is equal to the net work performed on it,
where net work is the integral of the component of net force in the direction of motion with respect to the position of the of the object. That is: KE2 – KE₁ = √²² F(x) dx.
