An astronaut with a mass of 75.8kg, finds herself 34.7m from her spaceship. The only way for her to return to the ship is to throw her 0.450kg wrench directly away from the ship. If she throws the wrench with a speed of 20.3m/s, how many seconds does it take her to reach the ship?
A starship blasts past the earth at 2.0 x 108 m/s. Just after passing the earth, the starship fires a laser beam out its back. With what speed does the laser beam approach the earth?
Spaceship Malfunction. You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their
propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support
systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had
been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000),
which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg.
The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion.
(a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 650 m/s,
what is the speed of the damaged craft?
(b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?…
