Two astronauts float in deep space, at rest relative to each other. Including the equipment they carry, the first astronaut has total mass 521 kg and the second astronaut has total mass 615 kg. The first astronaut throws a 656 kg box of tools at 4.66, and the second astronaut catches the box. After the throw and catch: find the speed of one astronaut relative to the other, in m/s.

Two astronauts, Hans and Dexter, are on a spacewalk, floating at rest next to their space vehicle. They argue and Hans shoots Dexter with a handgun. The bullet has a mass of 15 grams and a muzzle velocity of 250 m/s. Hans now finds himself drifitng away from the spacecraft. a. Hans and his spacecraft have a mass of 200kg, how fast is he drifting away? b. Hans only had one bullet, but he is holding a gun of mass...

Two astronauts floating at rest with respect to their ship in space decide to play catch with a 2-kg asteroid. Joe (whose mass is 100 kg) throws the asteroid at 20 m/s toward Jesse (whose mass is 68 kg). She catches it and throws it back at 18 m/s (with respect to the ship). What is Joe's speed right after his first throw? m/s What is Jesse's speed right after her first catch? m/s What is Jesse's speed right after...

You are one of five astronauts in a spacecraft that is traveling in deep space. Your spacecraft can be thermally modeled as a cylindrical shell made of polished aluminum with uniform thickness that is capped at the ends, being 20m long and having an inner and outer radius of 2.9 m and 3 m with the cap at each end being 10 cm thick. Aluminum has a constant thermal conductivity of 237 W/m K over a wide temperature range, from...

Two astronauts are on a space station preparing for a mission to Mars. The space station is powered by the combustion of a mixture of gases released from the high pressure container in which they are both contained. When not in use, the high pressure gas canister is stored in the far corner of the station away from the crew. One of the two gases possesses a high molecular weight, has a strong foul odor but is harmless to humans...

Two objects, A and B, are released from rest in free space (no other masses are near). Object A has a greater mass than object B. They accelerate toward each other under the action of their mutual gravitational attraction. a. On which object is the greater work done? b. At the instant just before they hit, which object will have the momentum with the greatest magnitude? c. At the instant just before they hit, which object will have the greater...

Take the following gedankenexperiment in which two astronauts meet each other again and again in a perfectly symmetrical setting - a hyperspherical (3-manifold) universe in which the 3 dimensions are curved into the 4. dimension so that they can travel without acceleration in straight opposite directions and yet meet each other time after time. On the one hand this situation is perfectly symmetrical - even in terms of homotopy and winding number. On the other hand the Lorentz invariance should...

A 50 kg Astronaut is floating in space, at rest relative to her spaceship. The 5kg canister she used for getting around has run out of gas. To get back to the spaceship she decides to throw the canister in the opposite direction. a) What is the total momentum of the astronaut-canister system after the throw (relative to the spaceship)? b) If the canister moves away at a speed of 20 m/s, what is the Astronaut’s speed toward the spaceship?

An astronaut is floating inside the international space station at rest--and since there are no other external forces she can rely on to change her state of motion--she decides to throw her jacket across the room. If her mass is 66.9kg and she throws the 1.1kg jacket at 14.7 m/s -- what is her recoil speed?
