An astronaut, of total mass 86.0 kg including her suit, stands on a spherical satellite of mass 360 kg, both at rest relative a

nearby space station. She jumps at a speed of 2.35 m/s directly away from the satellite, as measured by an observer in the station. At what speed does that observer measure the satellite traveling in the opposite direction?

Answer: 0.56 m/s

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula of the conservation of momentum.

m1 v1 = m2 v2 (because the system is stationary at the beginning)

Where:

m1 = mass of the astronaut

v1= velocity of the astronaut

m2= mass of the satellite

v2= velocity of the satellite

Replacing with the values given and solving:

86 kg (2.35m/s) = 360 kg v2

202.1 kgm/s=360kg v2

202.1kgm/s /360kg =v2

v2 = 0.56 m/s

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Supposing you were in space in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion
Jobisdone [24]

Yes.  If your smartphone was floating in front of your face, motionless
relative to you, it would require a force to start it moving toward you or
away from you. 

But there's no minimum force required.  ANY force, no matter how small,
even smaller than the smallest force that you can imagine, would set it in
motion. 

The thing is, though, that the smaller the force acting on it, the smaller
acceleration it would get, and the slower it would move away from where
it is. 

So if, say, you wanted to send it across the crew compartment and over
to your sleeping bag on the wall, and you had all day to watch it mope
along over there, you might breathe on it, and the force of your breath
would set it in slow motion in that direction.  But if you wanted to throw it
at your crewmate, you'd need to give it more force.
