leaving the space station and needed to speed up

not moving at all

approching the space station and needed to slow dow and dock (stop) at the station

Claim one said the thrusters fired and caused the pod to move away

Claim one said the thrusters firing with a larger force causing the pod to change directions and fly away

When the thrusters fired, the thrusters caused the pod to move away.

When the thrusters fired, the larger force caused the pod to change directions and fly away

Claim 2 says the thrusters fired but the pod still hit the station. Then the pod bouced off the station

Claim 2 says the thrusters firing with less strength causing the pod to slow down but not enough. The pod hit the station causing it to bounce off and move away.

The thrusters fired but the pod still hit the station. Then the pod bounced off the station

The thrusters with less strength causing the pod to slow down but not enough. The pod hit the station causing it to bounce off and move away.

The evidence says the mass was different for the normal pod and our pod. Our pod was heaver.

The data provided by Dr. Jones shows the mass of the normal pod is 970 kg and our pod was 1,100 kgs. Our pod was 130 kgs heavier.

The data provided by Dr. Jones shows the mass was different for the normal pod and our pod. Our pod was heaver.

In conclusion, since our pod was heaver, when the thursters fired it only showed down.

Since our pod was 130 kg heavier, it only slowed down. Using Newton's 2nd law, when the mass increases but the force stays the same, the acceleration is less.

Since our pod was heavier, it only slowed down, bounced off the station and moved away.
