An astronaut out on a spacewalk to construct a new section of the International Space Station walks with a constant velocity of 2.00 m/s on a flat sheet of metal placed on a flat, frictionless, horizontal honeycomb surface linking the two parts of the station. The mass of the astronaut is 75.0 kg, and the mass of the sheet of metal is 245 kg. a. What is the velocity of the metal sheet relative to the honeycomb surface? b. What is the speed of the astronaut relative to the honeycomb surface?
How much fuel would be needed for a 1000-kg rocket (this is its mass with no fuel) to take off from Earth and reach 1000 m/s in 30 s? The exhaust speed is 1000 m/s.
The figure below shows a bullet of mass 200 g traveling horizontally towards the east with speed 400 m/s, which strikes a block of mass 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless table. After striking the block, the bullet is embedded in the block and the block and the bullet move together as one unit. a. What is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the block/bullet combination immediately after the impact? b. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse by the block on the bullet? c. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse from the bullet on the block? d. If it took 3 ms for the bullet to change the speed from 400 m/s to the final speed after impact, what is the average force between the block and the bullet during this time?

At the center of a 50-m-diameter circular ice rink, a 75 kg skater traveling north at 2.5 m/s collides with and holds onto a 60 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.5 m/s. a. How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink? b. Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west.
A 2 kg cannonball is shot in the westerly direction; it embeds within a 30.0 kg wood block that is sitting stationary on a frozen lake. The wood containing the cannonball then moves 4 m/s west. Start with the equations from the textbook or notebook and solve for the original speed of the cannonball. Note that north and east are in the + direction.
Solve it correctly please. I will rate accordingly.
Kaya, a crew member on an interplanetary space ship, is on a spacewalk. She realizes that her ship is moving away from her at 0.5 m/s. She and her spacesuit have a total mass of 95 kg. Her space suit includes a 15 kg backpack, which is included in the 95 kg total mass.a). What is the minimum velocity she will have to throw the backpack so that she can gain enough velocity to eventually catch up with the ship? b). Kaya applies an average force of 400 N to the backpack for 0.05 seconds. Will Kaya make it back to the ship? If so, determine how much time it will take for her to reach the ship. If not, determine how much more force she would need to apply to make it back.
A rocket in deep space, away from external gravity, has a mass of 2.90 x 10^5 kg (including fuel).
