Consider two particles in a rocket which is having acceleration as shown. Find the time in which both particles collide with each other? The distance between is 40 m as shown
Assumptions
Rocket is in gravity free space.
Length of the rocket is very large so no case of particles hitting the walls.
Rocket has no initial velocity.
No friction or air resistance is present.
