A 54.0-kg astronaut is in space, far from any objects that would exert a significant gravitational force on him. He would like to move toward his spaceship, but his jet pack is not functioning. He throws a 0.720-kg socket wrench with a velocity of 5.00 m/s in a direction away from the ship. After 0.500 s, he throws a 0.800-kg spanner in the same direction with a speed of 8.00 m/s. After another 9.90 s, he throws a mallet with a speed of 6.00 m/s in the same direction. The mallet has a mass of 1.20 kg. How fast is the astronaut moving after he throws the mallet?(assume all speeds are relative to the spaceship). in m/s

2. In a circus trapeze act, two acrobats fly through the air and grab on to each other, then together grab a swinging bar. One acrobat, with a mass of 46.0 kg, is moving at 3.00 m/s at an angle of 10.0° above the + x axis, and the other, with a mass of 82.0 kg, is approaching her with a speed of 2.00 m/s at an angle of 20.0° above the −x axis.
A) What is the speed of the acrobats right after they grab on to each other? in m/s
B) What is the direction of the acrobats right after they grab on to each other? Enter a positive answer if the direction is above the −x-axis and enter a negative answer if the direction is below the −x-axis. in degree
