The final velocity (
) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (
) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.
The given parameters;
- Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
- Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
- Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
- Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
- Mass of the ball, = m
- Speed of the ball, = u
- Final velocity of the first astronaut, =
- Final velocity of the second astronaut, =
The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
if v₂ > v₁, then 
, to conserve the linear momentum.
Thus, the final velocity () of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut () to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

It would be 17 m/s
If we use
V2 = V1 + a*t
Sub in 5 for v1
2m/s*2 for a
And
6 for t
That should give you the answer.
Answer:
h = 11.47 m
Explanation:
Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s
We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :
So, it will cover a distance of 11.47 m.
