Q

An 80.0kg astronaut is working on a satellite which is drifting through space at a constant velocity. The astronaut, wishing to get a better view of the Universe, pushes off the satellite, mass 325kg, when 120s later he is 30m behind the satellite. Without a thruster, the only way for the astronaut to get back is to throw his 5kg wrench directly away from the satellite. If he throws the wrench at a speed of 35m/s, how long does it take the astronaut to return to the satellite?

A

16s

24
Q

A 2kg wooden block is on a level board and held against a spring of force constant 150 N/m, which has been compressed 15cm. The block is released from the rest and propelled horizontally across the board.
