One of them has a mass of 65.0 kg and the other a mass of 72.0 kg and they start from rest 20.0 m apart. a. Draw a free-body diagram of each astronaut, and use it to find his or her initial acceleration. As a rough approximation, we can model the astronauts as uniform spheres. b. If the astronauts' acceleration remained constant, how many days would they have to wait before reaching each other? Careful! They both have acceleration toward each other! c. Would their acceleration, in fact, remain constant? If not, would it increase or decrease? Why?arrow_forward2.
