Two fat astronauts each of mass 120 kg are travelling in a closed spaceship moving at a sped of 15 km/s in the outer space far remvoed from tall other material objects. The total mass of the spaceship and its contents including the stronauts is 660 kg. If the astronuts do slimming exercise and thereby reduce theri mases to 90 kg, each with wht velocity will spaceship move?

Two objects each of mass 5 kg are moving in the same straight line but in the opposite direction towards each other with some speed of 3 m/s. They stick to each other after collision. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?

A spaceship is orbiting the earth in a circular orbit at a height equal to radius of the earth (R_(c) = 6400 km) from the surface of the earth. An astronaut is on a space walk outside the spaceship. He is at a distance of l = 200 m from the ship and is connected to it with a simple cable which can sustain a maximum tension of10 N. Assume that the centre of the earth, the spaceship and the astronaut are in a line. Mass of astronaut along with all his accessories is 100 kg. Do you think that a weak cable that can only take a load of 10 N, can prevent him from drifting in space ? Make a guess. Estimate the tension in the cable.

Two objects, each of mass 1.5 kg, are moving in the same straight line but in opposite directions. The velocity of each object is 2.5 m s^-1 before the collision during which they stick together. What will be the velocity of the combined object after collision?

A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizonta surface and is free to move in any way on th surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length sqrt3 meters. Two particless, each of mass 0.08 kg, are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar, one with a velocity of 10 m/s, and other with 6m/s as shown in fig. The first particle strikes the bar at point A and the other at point B. Points A and B are at a distane of 0.5m from the centre of the bar. The particles strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of the kinetic energy of the system in the above collision process.
