An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87.0 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while she’s on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her 12.0-kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft with a speed of 8.00 m/s to propel herself back toward it, as shown in Figure 1.
Determine (a) her speed after throwing the oxygen tank away and
(b) the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 2.00 min (the amount of time the air in her helmet remains breathable).

An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of m, = 90.0 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while she's on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her oxygen tank of mass m, - 12.0 kg away from her spacecraft with a speed v = 7.50 m/s to propel herself back toward it (see figure). (a) Determine the maximum distance she can be...
An astronaut (her mass is 120 kg including space suit, oxygen tanks, and toolbox) accidentally floats away from the ISS at 1m/s without a tether. How fast and in what direction does she need to throw her 10kg toolbox in order to stop floating away from the ISS. Please make sure you identify the Initial and Final States of the System. Draw a Bar Chart Consistent with the situation, and explain your reasoning.
a 63.0 kg astronaut is on a spacewalk when the tether line to the shuttle breaks. The astronaut is able to throw a spare 10.0 kg oxygen tank in a direction away fromthe shuttle with a speed of 12.0 m/s, propelling the astrounaut back to the shuttle. Assuming that the astrounaut starts from rest with respect to the shuttle, findthe astronaut's final speed with respect to the shuttle after the tank is thrown
an astronaut is at rest in space outsider of her spaceship. using her jetpack, she tries to propel herself back to the ship but realizes her jetpack is out of fuel. instead, she decides to throw the jetpack away from the ship, hoping it would move her towards the ship. if she throws the jetpack away from the ship at a speed of 6m/s, what speed will the astronaut have back towards the ship? astronaut mass: 80kg, jetpack mass: 40kg

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. The astronaut takes a tool from her tool belt and throws it away from the shuttle to get back to the shuttle. If the astronaut throws the tool with a force of 16.0 N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration a of the astronaut during the throw? Assume that the total mass of the astronaut after she throws the tool is 80.0 kg. Answer...

A 70-kg astronaut is space-walking outside the space capsule and is stationary when the tether line breaks. As a means of returning to the capsule he throws his 2.0-kg space hammer at a speed of 14 m/s away from the capsule. Which way should she throw the hammer and how long will it take her to return to the safety of her spaceship?
A 65kg astronaut (including spacesuit and equipment), is floating at rest a distance of 15m from the spaceship when she runs out of oxygen and fuel to power her back to the spaceship. She removes her oxygen tank (3.0 kg) and flings it away from the ship at a speed of 15 m/s relative to the ship.At what speed relative to the ship does she recoil toward the spaceship? How long must she hold her breath before reaching the ship?
A 121-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.20 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1850-kg space capsule. Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the push.What is the velocity of the space capsule after the push in the reference frame?If the push lasts 0.630 s , what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by each on the other?
