Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relativespeed of 0.300 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.00 ✕103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103kg. Assume that the positive direction is directed from the secondsatellite towards the first satellite.
(a) Calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame ofreference in which the first satellite was originally atrest.
??????m/s
(b) What is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelasticcollision?
??????J
(c) Repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which thesecond satellite was originally at rest.
