The second diagram at right shows the positions of spaceships A, B, and the shuttle at time
Sketch spaceship A and the shuttle at their positions at time
Explain how the diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference, spaceship B is not moving.
Diagram for refrence frame of spaceship B
In the box at right, draw and label vectors for the following quantities:
•
•
•
Is the quantity
• a single instant in time or an interval of time? Explain.
• the distance between two objects or the distance traveled by a single object? Explain.
Describe how you could use
To Draw: Spaceship A and the shuttle at their positions at time
The vectors of the following quantities in frame of spaceship B
To Explain:Whether the diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving.
The use of
Answer to Problem 1aT
The diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving. The quantity
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Spaceship A and B are moving towards each other and spaceship A releases the shuttle at time
Spaceship A and the shuttle at their positions at time
The diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving as the body appears to be at rest with its own frame of reference.
Diagram having following quantities
Here,
The quantity
Here,
Conclusion:
Thus, the diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving. The quantity

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
