Question 3: A rocket drifts sideways in outer space from point "a" to point "b" as shown below. The rocket is subject to no outside forces. Starting at position "b", the rocket's engine is turned on and produces a constant thrust (force on the rocket) at right angles to the line "ab". The constant thrust is maintained until the rocket reaches a point "c" in space. -Q Which path below best represents the path of the rocket between points "b" and "c"? C .c с C (a) Identify the correct trajectory and clearly explain which physical principle you used to answer this question and how you applied it to the problem. (b) How does turning on the rocket's engine affect the horizontal component of the rocket's momentum? Explain your reasoning carefully. (c) What was the value of the rocket's momentum in the direction perpendicular to line ab **BEFORE** the engine was turned on?
