An astronaut is floating a few feet away from the space station in space. Which would create a net force

Question

on them that would push them back to the space station? (1 point)

O Collapse their body, bringing arms and legs in close, then expand toward the space station, like a jump.

O

Use their arms and hands in a swimming motion as if they are going through water.

Throw an object that they are carrying in the opposite direction to where they want to move.

Spin to align their feet toward the space station so gravity will pull them toward it.

Answer 1

The correct option that would create a net force on the astronaut and push them back to the space station is:

Throw an object that they are carrying in the opposite direction to where they want to move.

When the astronaut throws an object in one direction, they will experience an equal and opposite reaction due to Newton's third law of motion, which would propel them toward the space station.
