A space walking astronaut has become detached from her spaceship.shes floating in space while holding a wrench she is thinking a
bout how to get back to the spaceship.which she can see 50m from her current location what can she do to get back to the spaceship? Explain your answer using Newton’s 3 laws of motion
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.
While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.
Work, scientifically speaking, is done when a force is applied to an object which consequently moves the object at a certain direction. Work in formula, is force multiplied with distance. W = F x d
