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
Answer:
a = 3.125 [m/s^2]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.


where:
Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]
Vi = initial velocity = 0
a = acceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 8 [s]
The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.
25 = 0 + a*8
a = 3.125 [m/s^2]
