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 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...
