Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4P
To determine
Whether the object accelerate relative to all inertial reference frames when only a single non zero forces acts on the object and if it is possible for the object to have zero velocity in some inertial frame and not in another inertial frame, suggest specific example if it is possible.

A “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny, it can be used to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun in a cost-free but slow propulsion. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 900 kg and receives a push of 20 N,a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration?b) How far will it travel in 1 day?
c) How fast will it then be moving?
