2) You are an astronaut on the International Space Station doing your spacewalk. Your total mass including your suit and oxygen tank is 100.0 kg. Unfortunately your "tether line" (the rope that connects you to the Space Station) breaks and as a result you move at a velocity of 2.00 m/s away from the Space Station. The only thing that you can do to get back to the Space Station on time, is to throw your oxygen tank that has a mass of 15.0 kg in the direction away from the Space Station. At the moment that you throw the oxygen tank you are already 30.0 m away from the Station. You can only last 1.00 minute with the remaining oxygen in your suit. With what velocity with respect to you do you have to throw the oxygen tank to get back to the Station in exactly1.00 minutes. a. 14.2 m/s b. 16.2 m/s 13.3 m/s 10.5 m/s C. d.
