In order to describe motion along a straight line, you must state the speed and direction of the motion. Those two quantities, together, comprise what's known as "velocity".
Answer: b. Throw it directly away from the space station.
Explanation:
According to <u>Newton's third law of motion</u>, <em>when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.</em>
To understand it better:
Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.
So, if the astronaut throws the wrench away from the space station (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, she will be automatically moving towards the station and be safe.

Answer:
The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is 113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.
Explanation:
Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.
Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:
- Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
- Fperpendicular = F*cosα = 300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N
<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is 113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>
As per the question, the distance travelled by bobsled [s] = 100 m
The time taken by the bobsled to travel that distance [t] = 25 s
We are asked to calculate the speed of the bobsled.
The speed of the bobsled is calculated as -
Hence, the correct answer to the question is A. 4 m/s.
