Two astronauts are at rest in outer space, one 11.3 m from theSpace Shuttle and the other 22.6 m from the Shuttle. Using a149.0-W laser, the astronaut located 22.6 m away from the Shuttledecides to propel the other astronaut toward the Space Shuttle. Hefocuses the laser on a piece of totally reflecting fabric on herspace suit. If her total mass with equipment is 151.0 kg, how longwill it take her to reach the Space Shuttle?

The powerful laser used in a laser light show provides a3-mmdiameter beam of

An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line loses its attachment to her spacecraft while she is on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her spacecraft, she throws her 12 kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft witha speed of 8 m/s to propel herself back toward it. Determine the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 2 min
