Question

Problem 3 Two ships are floating at rest in the ocean somewhere. Ship A (1100 kg with an escape pod onboard) fires the escape pod horizontally at ship B (2.000 kg). The escape pod (100 kg) successfully lands on the deck (a) What was the speed of the escape pod after it left the ship A? Assume that the ship glides through the (b) What was the speed of the Ship B after the escape pod came to rest on its deck? Assume all interactions (c) If the speed of the escape pod was instead twice what you found in part (a), how fast would Ship B be (d) The "simply gliding through the water" is a model. We know that there is actually some drag. s the of ship B. After this event, ship A's speed is found to be 2 m/s. water and the pod through the air without any interactions with the air or water (or even the Earth) are just between the escape pod and Ship B, none with the water, etc traveling after the collision? speed of the escape pod you calculated a lower limit or an upper limit on the real speed?
