Question
A 50 kg astronaut on a space-walk pushes with a force of 50 N against a satellite that has a mass of 250 kg. What is the acceleration of the astronaut and the satellite? If the astronaut was pushing for a time of 2 seconds, with what velocity does the satellite and the astronaut have after the push is over?
