...moving with a constant...? The space probe shown in the drawing is initially moving with a constant translational velocity and zero angular velocity through outer space.
(a) When the two engines are fired, each generating a thrust of magnitude T, will the translational velocity increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain Your Answer.
(b) Explain what will happen to the angular velocity.
