The net force must be zero
This is in accordance to Newton's first law, which states that any object in motion will remain in motion and any object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An unbalanced force is one where the net force is not zero. If no unbalanced force is applied to a moving object, it will keep moving forever. The reason that we do not observe this in our daily lives is due to friction acting as the unbalanced force.
(1500 rev/min)(min / 60 s) / (3.0 s) = 8.33 rev/s²
<span>(B) </span>
<span>(1/2)(8.33 rev/s²)(3.0 s)² = 37.5 rev </span>
<span>(C) </span>
<span>(1500 rev/min)(min / 60 s)[2π(0.12 m) / rev] = 18.8 m/s</span>
Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it
So here momentum of the system will remain conserved
so here we can say

initially both are at rest
so here plug in all values


so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s
