The final velocity (
) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (
) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.
The given parameters;
- Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
- Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
- Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
- Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
- Mass of the ball, = m
- Speed of the ball, = u
- Final velocity of the first astronaut, =
- Final velocity of the second astronaut, =
The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.
if v₂ > v₁, then 
, to conserve the linear momentum.
Thus, the final velocity () of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut () to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

100 millimeters equals 0.1 meters.
In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.
