Answer:
He can return to the spacecraft by sacrificing some of the tools employing the principle of conservation of momentum.
Explanation:
By carefully evaluating his direction back to the ship, the astronaut can throw some of his tools in the opposite direction to that. On throwing those tools of a certain mass, they travel at a certain velocity giving him velocity in the form of recoil in the opposite direction of the velocity of the tools. This is same as a gun and bullet recoil momentum conservation. It is also the principle on which the operational principles of their maneuvering unit is designed.
The AREA of the shaded region is the moving object's displacement.
Answer:
The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.
Explanation:
The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :
.......(1)
Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.
For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).

k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m
Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).
Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).

E = 72 J
But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :
E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J
Option B i.e discretion is the right and correct answer.
[C]utting programs that were not effective or essential and even some that were, but are now unaffordable; and precisely targeting our investments. Every department will feel the impact of these reductions as they cut programs or tighten their belts to free up more resources for areas critical to economic growth.

The President above clearly refers to the Discretion Spending where portion of the budget is decided by Congress through the annual appropriations.
