Transcribed Image Text:One day while out on a space walk to repair your ship, you notice that you have forgotten to tie off your tether! You and the heavy wrench you are carrying are drifting slowly away from the ship with a velocity of V₁ = -2.58 m/s (this is negative since you are moving
left in the figure). Your mass (including your suit) is M = 150 kg and you are carrying a wrench of mass m = 9.15 kg. You are one smart astronaut and and you throw the wrench in the direction away from your ship as hard as you can. The result is that afterward, your

V₁
positive
Moment 1:
I
Momentum-SpaceWrench
V₂ = ?
positive
Determine all the following:
The velocity of the wrench at moment 2: V₂ =
m/s
The total kinetic energy of you and the wrench before the throw: KE₁
The total kinetic energy of you and the wrench after the throw: KE₂ =
Where did all the extra energy come from at moment #2?
Positive work done by you while throwing the wrench.
O Gravity is doing positive work as you are orbiting Earth.
O Negative work done by you while throwing the wrench.
Lowering the gravitational potential energy of the wrench.
