The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:
</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it
So here momentum of the system will remain conserved
so here we can say
initially both are at rest
so here plug in all values
so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s
