. The fisherman's mass is 79 kg, and the boat's is 126 kg. The fisherman and boat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of vi = 4.9 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.) What is the direction of the boat?
A rocket has an exhaust speed of 3.0 × 103 m/s, and produces 9.5 × 105 N of instantaneous thrust. What mass of fuel does the rocket burn each second?
A rocket burns in 2 stages. In stage 1, .35mo is burned. It then releases the first stage tank (of mass .1mo ), and then burns the 2nd stage (.25mo). It does not release the second tank afterwards. What is the final speed of the rocket assuming no external forces are present?

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.300 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 5.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.
