An 70 kg spacewalking astronaut pushes off a 632 kg satellite
An 70 kg spacewalking astronaut pushes off a 632 kg satellite, exerting a 112 N force for the 0.5 s it takes him to straighten his arms.
What Impulse is delivered to the astronaut from the satellite?
What's the speed of the astronaut after he pushes off? (We'll call the astronaut and satellites initial velocity 0.)
What's the speed of the satellite after the astronaut pushes off?
How far apart are the astronaut and the satellite after 1 min? Note after pushing off, the astronaut and satellite float away from one another with constant velocity (relative to each other.) (Technically they are both in orbit about the Earth, but we don't need to worry about that.)

A 121-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of
2.20 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1600-kg space capsule.
Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the
push. Part A: What is the velocity of the space capsule after the
push in the reference frame? Express your answer to two significant
figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if
the direction of the velocity is in the direction of...

You are an astronaut in the space shuttle pursuing a satellite
in need of repair. You are in a circular orbit of the same radius
as the satellite (420 km above the Earth), but 24 km behind it.
(a) How long will it take to overtake the satellite if you
reduce your orbital radius by 1.0 km?
___________ hr
(b) By how much must you reduce your orbital radius to catch up
in 7.0 hours?
___________ m

A 100 kg shot-putter pushes forward and upward on a 4 kg shot
with a force of 1000 N. This force acts at an angle of 60° above
horizontal.
How much of this 1000 N force acts in the upward
direction?
How much of this 1000N force acts in a horizontal
direction?
What is the resultant force?

The physics of
satellite motion around Jupiter.
A 155 kg satellite is placed in orbit 6.00 x 105 m above
the surface of Jupiter. The tangential speed of the satellite is
3.99 x 104 m/s. Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 x
1027 kg and a radius of 7.14 x 107 m.
Determine the radius of motion
of the satellite.
Calculate the centripetal
force acting on the satellite to maintain its orbit.
What is the cause of this
centripetal force?...

Ugonna stands at the top of an incline and pushes a 100−kg crate
to get it started sliding down the incline. The crate slows to a
halt after traveling 1.50 m along the incline. (a) If the initial
speed of the crate was 1.85 m/s and the angle of inclination is
30.0°, how much energy was dissipated by friction? (b) What is the
coefficient of sliding friction?

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?

A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a 46.2 kg block
of ice across a horizontal frozen lake. He pushes the block at an
angle of 26° below the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic
friction is 0.19, what is the force required to push the block at a
constant speed?
