Two astronauts, facing each other, are working on a satellite while tethered to a space shuttle. If one of the astronauts made an exceptionally risky move and tossed a small tool (only one-tenth the mass of the astronauts) to the other astronaut, what would happen if that astronaut caught the tool? Imagine at this moment that neither astronaut is directly touching the satellite or shuttle. O The astronaut throwing the tool would remain still but the astronaut that catches the tool would move backwards as a result of catching it. O The astronaut throwing the tool would start to move in the direction the tool is thrown but the astronaut catching the tool would remain still. O Both astronauts will begin to move backwards as a result of this throw and catch. O Since the mass of the tool is so small, the astronauts will not be affected by it; this situation would be the same as if they were working on Earth.

Find the center of mass of a cone of uniform density that has a radius R at the base, height h, and mass M. Let the origin be at the center of the base of the cone and have +z going through the cone vertex.
During the filming of a certain movie scene, the director wants a small car (whose mass is m1) traveling due east at speed v1 to collide with a small truck (whose mass is m2) traveling north. The director also wants the collision to be arranged so that just afterward, the interlocked vehicles travel straight toward the camera. If the line between the camera and collision makes an angle of theta with respect to north, at what speed v2 should the trucker drive?
A rocket, which is in deep space and initially at rest relative to an inertial reference frame, has a mass of 86.2 × 105 kg, of which 14.7 × 105 kg is fuel. The rocket engine is then fired for 180 s, during which fuel is consumed at the rate of 480 kg/s. The speed of the exhaust products relative to the rocket is 2.98 km/s. (a) What is the rocket's thrust? After the 180 s firing, what are (b) the mass and (c) the speed of the rocket?
One study suggests that a brain concussion can occur if a person’s head is subjected to an acceleration assmall as 60g, where g is the acceleration of gravity.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.350 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 3.00 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity?
