Question

an astronaut of mass 150 kg is stranded 100 m from the international space station and is at rest relative to it he decides to throw his movie camera of mass 4.5 kg away at a speed of 10 m/s he has 5 minutes of air left in his tank does he make it back in time?

Answer 1

150 v = 4.5 * 10 = 45
v = .3 m/s

t to get back = 100/.3 = 333 seconds

we have five min which is 300 seconds

things do not look good :( Better throw that camera harder.

Answer 2

You're funny haha but thanks
