Astronauts perform many tasks as they orbit Earth. The space station is designed to be a permanent orbiting research facility. Its major purpose is to perform world-class science and research that only a microgravity environment can provide. The station crew spends their day working on science experiments that require their input, as well as monitoring those that are controlled from the ground. They also take part in medical experiments to determine how well their bodies are adjusting to living in microgravity for long periods of time.</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>

Working on the space station also means ensuring the maintenance and health of the orbiting platform. Crew members are constantly checking support systems and cleaning filters, updating computer equipment: doing many of the things homeowners must do to ensure their largest investment stays in good shape. Similarly, the Mission Control Center constantly monitors the space station and sends messages each day through voice or email with new instructions or plans to assist the crew members in their daily routines.</em></u></h3><h3><u><em>

(d) This part of the question is explained in detailed way in the attached file.
Explanation:
Detailed explanation of all the parts of the question are given in attached files.
We can do this with the conservation of momentum. The fact it is elastic means no KE is lost so we don't have to worry about the loss due to sound energy etc.
Firstly, let's calculate the momentum of both objects using p=mv:
Object 1:
p = 0.75 x 8.5 = 6.375 kgm/s
Object 2 (we will make this one negative as it is travelling in the opposite direction):
p = 0.65 x -(7.2) = -4.68 kgm/s
Based on this we know that the momentum is going to be in the direction of object one, and will be 6.375-4.68=1.695 kgm/s
Substituting this into p=mv again:
1.695 = (0.75+0.65) x v
Note I assume here the objects stick together, it doesn't specify - it should!
1.695 = 1.4v
v=1.695/1.4 = 1.2 m/s to the right (to 2sf)
Shock waves can be observed in outer space between planets where there is very little matter. Although little, plasma does exist in outer space which allows the waves to travel.
<span>The thermal energy is the work done by friction. If Justin is at rest intially, his potential energy is MGH. Hence we have 30* 9.8*8 = 2352N. Where m is mass, g accleration due to gravity, and h is the height. When he gets to the bottom of the slide, his potential energy is converted to usable kinetic energy, so we have 1/2 mv^2. We end up with 1/2 * 30 * (11)^2 = 1815N. He started with 2352N and ended up with 1815N. Hence the thermal energy is 2352 - 1815 = 537N.</span>
