a 63 kg astronaut is on a spacewalk when the tether line to theshuttle breaks. The astronaut is able to throw a 10.0 kg oxygentank in a direction away from the shuttle with a speed of 12.0 m/s,propelling the astronaut back to the shuttle. Assuming that theastronaut starts from rest, find the final speed of the astronautafter throwing the tank.

A(n) 77.5 kg astronaut becomes separated
from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She
finds herself 37.3 m away from the shuttle
and moving with zero speed relative to the
shuttle. She has a(n) 0.94 kg camera in her
hand and decides to get back to the shuttle
by throwing the camera at a speed of 12 m/s

How long will it take for her to reach the
shuttle? Answer in minutes.
Answer in units of min.

An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while she is on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her 12 kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft witha speed of 8 m/s to propel herself back toward it. Determine the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 2 min
