Substitute known quantities and solve for the unknown quantity. We substitute the known values into the conservation of momentum equation MV; + mv, = MVf+ mvf to obtain (70.5 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.45 kg)(1.95 m/s) = (70.5 kg)Vf + (1.45 kg)Vp. Because v, = Va this further simplifies to (70.5 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.45 kg)(1.95 m/s) = (1.45 kg + 70.5 kg)Vf What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision? m/s
