24.
In a regular pod landing, the thruster would cause the pod to stop and latch onto the space station. This did not happen.
Claim 1 States: “The thrusters on the pod caused the pod to move in the opposite direction.”
Choose from the following the best explanation for why the pod moved away from the space station.
a)
The thrusters on the pod exerted LESS force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod to bounce off the space station.
b)
The thrusters on the pod exerted MORE force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod to change direction.
25.
In a regular pod landing, the thruster would cause the pod to stop and latch onto the space station. This did not happen.
Claim 2 States, “The thrusters only slowed the pod, it didn’t stop; the pod hit the space station, which made it bounce and move in the opposite direction.” Choose from the following the best explanation for why the pod moved away from the space station.
a)
The thrusters on the pod exerted LESS force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod to slow down and bounce off the space station.
b)
The thrusters on the pod exerted MORE force than in usual pod missions. This caused the velocity of the pod to change direction.
