given that
austronaut mass m1 = 80 kg
mass of oxygen tank m2 = 10 kg
initial momentum is zero
there is no initial momentum or velocity
final momentum pf = m2v2+m1v1
80*v2 = -10*2
v2 = -20/80 = -0.25 m/s
final momentum also zero
because momentum is conserved
so change in momentum = 0
chart: initiao momentum = 0 change in momentum = 0 final momentum = 0
c) final speed v = 0.25 m/s
the negative sign indicates the astronaut motion is opposite to the oxygen tan motion
4. An astronaut of mass 80 kg carries an empty oxygen tank of mass 10 kg....
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...
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.
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 of mass 84.0 kg is taking a space walk to work on the International Space Station. Because of a malfunction with the booster rockets on his spacesuit, he finds himself drifting away from the station with a constant speed of 0.690 m/s. With the booster rockets no longer working, the only way for him to return to the station is to throw the 8.95 kg wrench he is holding. In which direction should he throw the wrench? away...
An astronaut with a mass of 80 kg is floating in space, at rest relative to his space station. His jet pack propels him away from the space station with a force of 20 N. How long must the jet pack operate before the astronaut is moving away from the space station at 5 m/s?
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
answer all please
1 If a 71-kg astronaut at rest in space throws a ball with mass 0.61 kg at a speed of 12 mph. What happens to the astronaut as a result? 4 A moving ball collides elastically with another ball that is twice as heavy and is initially at rest. What happens to the lighter ball as a result of the collision? (a) She picks up some of the movement of the ball, causing her to move forward....
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?
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 102 kg and the bag...
