 Problem 1: A supply capsule w/ crew approaches a spy satellite

Problem 1: A supply capsule w/ crew approaches a spy satellite at a relative speed of 0.250 m/s so as to dock. The astronauts will then repair said spy satellite. The supply capsule has a mass of 4000 kg, and the spy satellite has a mass of 7500kg. a. Calculate the final velocity (after docking) by using the frame of reference in which the Spy satellite appears to be originally at rest.
