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 kgma=102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of mb=10.0 kg. mb=10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at vi=2.10 m/svi=2.10 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vb, fvb, f of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length of a column of water 1.00 km high for a temperature increase of 1.00ºc. note that this calculation is only approximate because ocean warming is not uniform with depth. (answer in ×10^{-3} −3 m)

An astronaut floating in space is trying to use her jetpack to get back to her space station, but she is being pulled away by a nearby planet, as shown in the image below. her jetpack provides a constant thrust of 310 n. if she angles her jetpack in such a way that it cancels out the vertical force due to the planet's gravity, what is her net horizontal force? thaud 487 o a. 54.8 n toward the space station o b. 212.9 n toward the space station o c. 185.2 n toward the space station o d 956 n toward the space station
