Spacewalker Wendy is floating outside of her space shuttle  10 meters from the entrance hatch when she carelessly disconnects her tether cord while reaching for her Polaroid camera. Her total mass (body, suit, equipment [camera included], and a dangerously low oxygen tank with only 2 minutes of oxygen left) is 91 kg. Realizing her critical situation, she throws the camera (1.0 kg) with a velocity of 9.0 m/s directly away from the ship’s entry hatch. What will become of...

An astronaut is working outside of the International Space Station when her propulsion system stops working. She's floating in space, not moving relative to space station. Rather than have the rest of the crew break out the robotic arm to pick her up, she decides to use the tools at hand. The astronaut has a gun used for equipment repair that shoots metal pieces at a high speed. The mass of the astronaut and all her equipment is Ma. This...
