Document Summary
A satellite is moving through space directly towards the exact middle of the hubble telescope, as shown. In order to prevent a collision, nasa decides to use the booster rockets on the satellite which we solve to find. This last expression ( ) is the acceleration magnitude we were looking for. Hubble telescope. ) as shown in the diagram. to deflect the satellite from its previous trajectory. Nasa is able to ignite the boosters when the satellite is a distance from the telescope and moving towards it with velocity , The hubble telescope is roughly cylindrical with length (if you ignore its solar panels) and is sitting along the. Treat the satellite as a point-like object, and ignore the radius of the telescope. Hubble telescope"s frame of reference. (e. g. , the satellite"s velocity is measured with respect to the stationary" (a) suppose that the boosters provide a constant acceleration that points only in the positive direction.
