Be sure to follow the seven step paradigm when submitting this as a collected homework problem: 1. I want to and I can 2. Draw a diagram (if you can't visualize this in a diagram. see the next page) and include all the relevant information. 3. Identify what you are looking for. 4. Brainstorm: how is what you know connected to what you are looking for? (See next page for hints.) 5. Write the relevant equations. 6. Solve the equations be sure to include units with all values. 7. Is your answer reasonable? 3-40. An astronaut during a spaceship flight had the safety line cut by a sharp edge and is now oating beside the ship. a) Can the astronaut "swim" back to the spaceship? b) If the astronaut has a wrench of 2 kg and throws this away from the ship at 20 m/sec, can the astronaut reach the ship? c) If the astronaut is 25 meters from the spaceship, how long will it take to reach the ship after the astronaut throws the wrench assuming the astronaut (plus suit, etc.) has a mass of 70 kg? d) What is the astronaut's weight in pounds? ANSWERS TO SUPPLEMENTARY PROBLEMS: 40. a) no; la) yes; c) v = 0.57 mls. t: 43.75 s; d) in outer- space his weight would be zero. on the Earth it would be 154 pounds
