Physics - NLM Question with Solution | TestHub

A defective satellite of mass 950 kg is being towed by a spaceship in empty space. The two vessels are connected by a uniform 50 m rope whose mass per unit length is 1kg/m. The spaceship is accelerating in a straight line with acceleration $5\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$. Due to exhaustion, the crew of the spaceship falls asleep and a short circuit in one of the booster control circuits results in the acceleration changing to a deceleration of $1\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$. Time taken by two vessels to collide is ____ sec.
