$A$ rocket is moving in a gravity-free space with a constant acceleration of $2 \ ms^{-2}$ along the $+x$ direction (see figure). The length of a chamber inside the rocket is $4 \ m$. $A$ ball is thrown from the left end of the chamber in the $+x$ direction with a speed of $0.3 \ ms^{-1}$ relative to the rocket. At the same time,another ball is thrown in the $-x$ direction with a speed of $0.2 \ ms^{-1}$ from its right end relative to the rocket. The time in seconds when the two balls hit each other is:
