Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s

Instantaneous velocity, on the other hand, describes the motion of a body at one particular moment in time. Acceleration is a vector which shows the direction and magnitude of changes in velocity. Its standard units are meters per second per second, or meters per second squared. (this is for number 3)

Wind resistance _____ as speed increases.
Rudik [331]

The correct option is option B that wind resistance increases dramatically.

Explanation:

When the speed of an object increases resistance increases drastically because the object pushing through air has obtained a high speed but the air is unable to move out of the way so fast so show it tends to get compressed and oppose the moving object and the object names to put more pressure because some of the pressure goes into cutting air and moving through it.
