Consider an astronaut taking a space walk around the ISS to repair a solar array. If one of the tools is inadvertently pushed away from the ISS and towards Earth at a speed of 19 m/s, what is the 0 in µrad/s² (this indicates that the tool will move - accelerate - away in the 0 direction as it moves away in the r direction). Assume that the ISS is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 418 km and moving at a speed of 7.66 km/s. The radius of Earth is 6378 km.
