I know the answer is c but can you please explain why

Transcribed Image Text:A student is running at a constant speed toward a ball that is rolling directly toward him but slowing down. The student arrives at the ball and kicks it in the same direction that the
student was moving. Which of the following sets of graphs shows a reasonable representation of the positions of the student and the ball?

- Please help with the solution to this problem using (km/s). I know we will use Hohmann Transfer and a combined plane change. In the opening scene of the movie “Gravity” Dr Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) are required to transit from the Hubble Space Telescope (Altitude 600 km, 28.5 degree inclination) to the International Space Station (Altitude 400 km, 51.6 degree inclination) using nothing but their Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU). An MMU has a delta V capability of about 30 m/s, and it would be impossible to perform this maneuver with so little delta V, but… a.) How much delta V would be required for this maneuver? b.)
