two astronauts are taking a spacewalk outside the International Space Station the first astronaut has a mass of 64 kg the second

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Approximately $0.88\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}$ to the right (assuming that both astronauts were originally stationary.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass $m$ is moving at a velocity of $v$ , the momentum $p$ of that object would be $p = m\, v$ .

Since momentum of this system (of the astronauts) conserved:

$\begin{aligned} &(\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\end{aligned}$ .

Assuming that both astronauts were originally stationary. The total initial momentum of the two astronauts would be $0$ since the velocity of both astronauts was $0\!$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned} &(\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\\ &= 0\end{aligned}$ .

The final momentum of the first astronaut ( $m = 64\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 0.8\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ to the left) would be $p_{1} = m\, v = 64\; {\rm kg} \times 0.8\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ to the left.

Let $p_{2}$ denote the momentum of the astronaut in question. The total final momentum of the two astronauts, combined, would be $(p_{1} + p_{2})$ .

$\begin{aligned} & p_{1} + p_{2} \\ &= (\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\\ &= 0\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, $p_{2} = (-p_{1})$ . In other words, the final momentum of the astronaut in question is the opposite of that of the first astronaut. Since momentum is a vector quantity, the momentum of the two astronauts magnitude ( $51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ ) but opposite in direction (to the right versus to the left.)

Rearrange the equation $p = m\, v$ to obtain an expression for velocity in terms of momentum and mass: $v = (p / m)$ .

$\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{64\; {\rm kg}} && \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{to the right})}{} \\ &\approx 0.88\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} && (\text{to the right})\end{aligned}$ .
