Answer:
The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

Explanation:
The extension, e, of the spring = 2.9 m - 1.4 m = 1.5 m
The work needed to stretch a spring by <em>e</em> is given by
where <em>k</em> is spring constant.
