12. A 63.0 kg astronaut is on a spacewalk when the tether line to the shuttle breaks. The astronaut is able to throw a 10.0 kg oxygen tank in direction away from the shuttle with a speed of 12.0 m/s, propelling the astronaut back to the shuttle. a. Assuming the astronaut starts from rest, find the final speed of the astronaut after throwing the tank. (1.85 m/s in the direction opposite the astronaut) 1.90m/s b. Determine the maximum distance the astronaut can be from the craft when the line breaks in order to return to the craft within 60.0 s. (1408 m) ||4m 12.
