5. You and your friend are standing in front of a conveyor belt of an airport. The belt moves at a velocity V = 0.8 m/s and it is long l = 200 m. At a given moment, you step on the conveyor belt while your friend
starts walking at a constant pace v = 1.2 m/s.
(a) What is her velocity with respect to you?
(b) How much before you will your friend reach the end of the conveyor belt?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
