What is the primary purpose of applying the Force-Velocity Model in a crash investigation?

To establish the physical limits of the thrusters' performance.

To create a detailed timeline of events leading up to the crash.

To analyze the chemical composition of the materials used in the vehicle's construction.

To determine the total financial liability for the incident.

Why is establishing a "maximum power" burn scenario crucial in the systematic evaluation of a crash?

It determines the minimum fuel required for a safe landing.

It sets a physical limit on what the thrusters can achieve on their own.

It is the only scenario that the Force-Velocity Model can accurately simulate.

It confirms the age and manufacturing date of the thruster system.

Comparing the cost of the thrusters to the total cost of the pod.

Comparing the pilot's training record with the flight data recorder.

Comparing the actual velocity change with the simulated maximum thruster capability.

Comparing the pod's mass before and after the incident.

The thrusters were operating at a standard, expected level.

The Force-Velocity Model is incorrect and should not be used.

The thrusters must have malfunctioned and provided less force than expected.

Another force, besides the thrusters, must have contributed to the deceleration.

Reconstruct the pilot's actions.

Calculate the financial cost of the damage.

Test the plausibility of different physical scenarios.

Identify the location of the black box recorder.
