Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.100 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ? 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ? 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.

(a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.
(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision?
(c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest.
final velocity
explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both. (do this on paper. your instructor may ask you to turn in this work.)

An ice-making machine inside a refrigerator operates in a carnot cycle. it takes heat from liquid water at 0.0 degrees celsius and rejects heat to a room at a temperature of 19.2 degrees celsius. suppose that liquid water with a mass of 76.3kg at 0.0 degrees celsius is converted to ice at the same temperature. take the heat of fusion for water to be l_f = 3.34*10^5 j/kg. how much energy e must be supplied to the device? express your answer in joules.
