An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station. If the astronaut has a mass of 85 kg and she throws a hammer of mass 4.5 kg at a speed of 4 m/s, what will be the approximate resultant velocity that carries her back to the space station? - Astronaut mass: 85 kg Hammer mass: 4.5 kg OA. 0.15 m/s OB. 0.27 m/s OC. 0.21 m/s D. 0.41 m/s X
