certain carbon monoxide molecule consists of a carbon atom of mass mc = 12 u and an oxygen atom of mass mo = 15 u that are separated by a distance of d = 109 pm, where "u" is an atomic unit of mass. Write a symbolic equation for the center of mass of the carbon monoxide molecule relative to the position of the oxygen atom. This expression should be in terms of the masses of the atoms and the distance between them.

An astronaut comes loose while outside the spacecraft and finds himself floating away from the spacecraft with only a big bag of tools. In desperation, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion (away from the space station). The astronaut has a mass of 102 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of 10.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at 1.80 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed of the bag of tools (with respect to the space station) that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? minimum final speed: m/s
