A 100 kg astronaut is tethered to a 10,000 kg capsule on a 25 m stretched line. If the astronaut pulled on the line to get back to the capsule, where would the astronaut and the capsule meet if you take the capsule as the origin?

A 100-kg astronaut wears a 10-kg tool pack on a spacewalk. He is 12 m to the right of his (stationary) spaceship, and he is moving to the right, away from the spaceship, at 0.1 m/s. At this point, his tether breaks. To get back to the spaceship, he throws the 10-kg tool bag to the right at 5.0 m/s (measured relative to the stationary spaceship), so that he can achieve a recoil velocity to the left. How long will...

An 80 kg astronaut has gone outside his space capsule to do some repair work. Unfortunately, he forgot to lock his safety tether in place, and he has drifted 5.0 m away from the capsule. Fortunately, he has a 950 W portable laser with fresh batteries that will operate it for 1.0 hr. His only chance is to accelerate himself toward the space capsule by firing the laser in the opposite direction. He has a 8.3 hr supply of oxygen....

A mass m is attached to a spring with stiffness k=25 N/m. The mass is stretched 1 m to the left of the equilibrium point then released with initial velocity 0. Assume that m = 3 kg, the damping force is negligible, and there is no external force. Find the position of the mass at any time along with the frequency, amplitude, and phase angle of the motion. Suppose that the spring is immersed in a fluid with damping constant...

Problem 3: Assume that an astronaut is stranded in space 12.0 m from their spaceship and at they are at rest relative to the spaceship (this is terrifying, try not to empathize). Knowing that their flashlight makes a directed beam of light with intensity 950 W/m2 they turn it on and shine the light directly away from the spacecraft so that it pushes them towards it. If the radius of the light beam is 3.8 cm and the astronaut and...

A 55-kg crate is pulled horizontally 7.0 m across the floor by a force F whose magnitude is 160 N. The force F is parallel to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25. A. If the crate starts from rest, use the work-energy theorem to find the velocity of the crate after it has moved 7.0 m horizontally. B. After the crate has moved 7.0 m horizontally, the external force F no longer acts on...

A 0.5-kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant 2.5 N/m. The spring experiences friction, which acts as a force opposite and proportional to the velocity, with magnitude 2 N for every m/s of velocity. The spring is stretched 1 meter and then released. (a) Find a formula for the position of the mass as a function of time. (b) How much time does it take the mass to complete one oscillation (to pass the equilibrium point, bounce...
