You are asked to design a spring that will give a 1210 kilogram satellite a speed of 2.75 meter per second relative to an orbiting space shuttle. Your spring is to give the satellite a maximum acceleration of 5 gram. The spring mass, the recoil kinetic energy of the shuttle, and changes in gravitational potential energy will all be negligible.

Find what must the force constant of the spring be?

Find what distance must the spring be compressed?
