Question 2(4 marks)
Two astronauts are floating motionless in empty space far from the Earth. One of them has mass 45.0 kg and is holding a 10.0 kg oxygen tank. He pushes the tank directly toward the second astronaut (who has a mass of 55.0 kg ), who catches and holds it. If the speed of the tank relative to the second astronaut was \(1.00\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{sec}\), then what is the final speed of the second astronaut relative to the first one, after the second one has caught the tank?
