You and your fellow astronaut are playing pig toss. You throw the 125kg pig by applying a force over 42cm and the pig acquires a velocity of 7.5m/s. Your fellow harnessed astronaut takes .75s to catch the pig. If you have a mass of 62Kg, what is your velocity? What force is required to catch the pig?

4. You and your fellow astronaut are playing pig toss. You throw the 125kg pig by applying a force
over 42cm and the pig acquires a velocity of 7.5m/s. Your fellow harnessed astronaut takes .75s
to catch the pig. If you have a mass of 62Kg, what is your velocity? What force is required to
catch the pig?

6. If the astronaut is 8.2 m from the back of the space shuttle, how long will it take for the astronaut
and pig to hit the shuttle? If the shuttle's back door is open (Ok, who left the door open - were
you bom in a ban?), how far away from the shuttle will the two be after one minute?

7. You are on the Olympic Bob Sledding team. You and your team push the sled which has a mass
of 55kg for 5.5s with a force of 320ON. What is the velocity of the sled? Then you, the fearless
but reckless sled pilot, immediately jump into the sled, what is the velocity of the sled after you
jump in?
