In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.
The equation that defines the linear moment is given by
where,
m=Total mass
Mass of Object
Velocity before throwing
Final Velocity
Velocity of Object
Our values are:
Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have
We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.
That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:
A)
B)
C)
Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s
The astronaut final velocity is 0.06 m/s to the right
Explanation:
In absence of external forces, the total momentum of the box-astronaut system is conserved.
At the beginnig, the total momentum of the two is zero, since they are at rest:
While the final momentum, after the astronaut throws the box, is:
where
m = 11 kg is the mass of the box
M = 79 kg is the mass of the astronaut
v = -0.45 m/s (to the left) is the velocity of the box (we take left as negative direction)
V is the final velocity of the astronaut
The total momentum is conserved, so
And solving , we find V:
And the positive sign indicates that the direction is to the right.
