It would be kinetic energy. Let's say the book is weighs 10 Newtons you need to use a force of 10 Newtons to lift the book. In other words it's positive. As you move the book you're giving it energy. Namely potential energy which will turn to kinetic energy if you let it go. So you're changing it's position and energy.

A 92kg astronaut and a 1200kg satellite are at rest relative to the space shuttle. The astronaut pushes on the satellite, giving

Harman [31]

Answer:

13.7m

Explanation:

Since there's no external force acting on the astronaut or the satellite, the momentum must be conserved before and after the push. Since both are at rest before, momentum is 0.

After the push

$m_av_a + m_sv_s = 0$

Where $m_a = 92kg$ is the mass of the astronaut, $m_s = 1200kg$ is the mass of the satellite, $v_s = 0.14 m/s$ is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed $v_a$ of the astronaut:

$v_a = \frac{-m_sv_s}{m_a} = \frac{-1200*0.14}{92} = -1.83 m/s$

So the astronaut has a opposite direction with the satellite motion, which is further away from the shuttle. Since it takes 7.5 s for the astronaut to make contact with the shuttle, the distance would be

d = vt = 1.83 * 7.5 = 13.7 m
