You are the mission commander of a 2000kg probe that is approaching Mars at a speed of 25,000 km/hr. It needs to slow down to 15,000 km/hr to begin its descent to the surface. If the satellite enters the Martian atmosphere too fast, it will burn up; if it enters too slowly, it will use up its maneuvering fuel before reaching the surface and will crash. The satellite has a new braking system: several 5.0kg masses on the front that can be launched straight ahead at a speed of 139,000 m/s relative to the satellite. You need to send the rocket an instruction to tell how many bullets to fire. Success will bring you fame and glory, but failure of this $500,000,000 mission will ruin your career. How many bullets?

Assume you measured the mass of the cart to be (500 ± 1) g and the mass of the additional mass you put on the cart to be (500 ± 1) g as well. since the scale you are using in the lab cannot measure objects heavier than 600g you will have to sum up individual pieces and propagate the error. so what would be the mass and the standard error of the cart and the mass
