Q1
A spacecraft with $I=80\ \text{kg·m}^2$ must reach $\omega=0.60\ \text{rad/s}$ from rest; during a short burn, external torques are negligible except for the thrusters, so $J=\Delta L=I\Delta\omega$. Assume the torque direction matches the desired rotation. Considering the described system, calculate the angular impulse applied to the spacecraft during the interval.
