Answer:

E) She can perform no measurement to determine this quantity.

Explanation:

A spacecraft is a machine used to fly in outer space.

According to Isaac Newton's third law of motion, every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. When fuel is shoot out of one end of the rocket, the rocket moves forward for which no air is required.

As Leah is moving in a spaceship at a constant velocity away from a group of stars, she cannot measure to determine this quantity.

Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.
