Question

An experimental rocket retrieval system involves a magnetic capture basket and an extremely stiff 10.0 m long spring with the rocket landing on the basket and coming to a stop. If the rocket returns to earth with a mass of 11,300 kg moving at a velocity of 32 m/s and the magnetic capture mechanism has a mass of 4,800 kg,
a) How fast are the rocket and capture basket moving immediately after the collision?
B) What does the spring constant of the spring need to be so that the rocket doesn’t hit the ground?
