Refer to the diagram shown below.
The component of the applied force perpendicular to the door is
F * sin(60°) = 0.866F N
Because the moment arm is 0.40 m, the torque is
(0.866F N)*(0.4 m) = 0.3464F N-m
This torque is equal to 1.4 N-m, therefore
0.3464F = 1.4
F = 4.04 N
Answer: 4.04 N
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The one satellite has all the momentum before they connect, and then afterwards they share it. <span>For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total </span>momentum<span> of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total </span>momentum<span> of the two objects after the collision.</span>
I think its friction and gravity change the motion hope this helps :)
