Answer: Tangential Velocity
The tangential velocity is defined as the angular velocity
by the radius
of circular motion. As shown below:
Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.
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
Where is the mass of the astronaut,
is the mass of the satellite,
is the speed of the satellite. We can calculate the speed
of the astronaut:
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
