Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.2 × 104 kg (about 32 tons). The rocket
engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of km/s. As you pass the location km you
briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of N for 23.0 s. The ejected gases have
a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are
you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the
choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?)

A rescue ship is approaching and will pass within 100 m of the escape pod. The space voyager plans to push herself away from the escape pod towards the point by which the rescue ship will pass (point P in the diagram). The space voyager knows that she can apply a constant force of 100 N while she pushes for the 0.50 s it takes her to straighten her arms. (a) What will her velocity be after she has finished pushing against the rescue pod?
