In the future, a space tug is connected to a larger spaceship with a cable. The mass of the space tug is 3070 kg and the mass of the spaceship is 6280 kg. Initially the tug and the spaceship are at rest and separated by a distance of 376 m. The tug starts to pull in the connecting cable with a force of 435 N. Hint: (a) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the spaceship. 0.069 m/s^2 Hint: (b) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the space tug. 0.14 m/s^2 (c) Calculate how much time passes before the space tug and the spaceship meet each other. select units v
