Question:

Set up systems of equations and solve by any appropriate method. All numbers are accurate to at least two significant digits.

A satellite is to be launched from a space shuttle. It is calculated that the satellite’s speed will be 24,200 km/h if launched directly ahead of the shuttle or 21,400 km/h if launched directly to the rear of the shuttle. What is the speed of the shuttle and the launching speed of the satellite relative to the shuttle? See Fig. 5.56.
