How Do Conservation Laws Apply to Colliding Space Shuttles?

[QUOTE="Rellek, post: 4734111, member: 505565"] The equations for impulse and momentum are what you want to use. Conservation of Momentum is probably what you meant to say. Using conservation of momentum, you are given information that is pretty crucial, because you are told that the two shuttles are initially linked together. This means that their initial velocities are both equal. The equation for impulse and momentum is a vector equation, so you can set it up like that. You have an initial condition, plus some added impulse, equal to a final condition, which is given in the problem. [/QUOTE]
