Answer:
18.2145 meters
Explanation:
Using the conservation of momentum, we have that:

m1 = m1' is the mass of the astronaut, m2=m2' is the mass of the satellite, v1 and v2 are the inicial speed of the astronaut and the satellite (v1 = v2 = 0), and v1' and v2' are the final speed of the astronaut and the satellite. Then we have that:


The negative sign of this speed just indicates the direction the astronaut goes, which is the opposite direction of the satellite.
If the astronaut takes 7.5 seconds to come into contact with the shuttle, their initial distance is:

Answer:
v = -v₀ / 2
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.
Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron
v² = v₀² - 2a y
when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0
a = v₀² / 2y
now they tell us that the initial velocity is half
v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’
v₀ ’= v₀ / 2
at the point where turn v = 0
0 = v₀² /4 - 2 a y '
v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y) y’
y = 4 y'
y ’= y / 4
We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.
v² = v₀² -2a y’
v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4
v² = -v₀² / 4
v = -v₀ / 2
We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Find the acceleration using this kinematic equation:

Now use this kinematic equation to find the displacement:

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is only transferred through different forms of energy. For the following situations, the conversion of energy is as follows:
*Turning on a space heater = electrical energy⇒heat energy
*Dropping an apple core into the garbage = potential energy⇒kinetic energy
*Climbing up a rope ladder = kinetic energy⇒potential energy
*Starting a car = chemical energy⇒mechanical energy
