An astronaut is floating in outer space. There are no external forces acting on the astronaut. The mass of the astronaut plus his/her equipment is 60 kg. The astronaut is at rest with a wrench in their hands. The astronaut then throws the wrench that weights 1 kg at 20 m s-1. The mass of the astronaut is now 59 kg. What is the magnitude of the astronaut's velocity after he/she threw the wrench?

An astronaut of mass 84.0 kg is taking a space walk to work on the International Space Station. Because of a malfunction with the booster rockets on his spacesuit, he finds himself drifting away from the station with a constant speed of 0.550 m/s. With the booster rockets no longer working, the only way for him to return to the station is to throw the 7.65 kg wrench he is holding. In which direction should he throw the wrench? away...
