Question: ( adopted from Wiesel, p . 3 9 ) A reentry vehicle is flying through the atmosphere at velocity vec ( V ) = Vhat

(adopted from Wiesel, p.39) A reentry vehicle is flying through
the atmosphere at velocity vec(V)=Vhat(b)1 with flight-path angle
(gamma) as shown in the figure. The vehicle keeps its velocity
aligned with hat(b)1 as changes. Show that the inertial acceleration
of the center of mass can be written as
vec(A)=Vhat(b)1+Vhat(b)2
DETERMINE THE ACCELERATION OF THE MASS M WRT THE INTERTIAL FRAME
