A 3000 kg spaceship is floating through space at a rate of 2 m/s. An astronaut traveling in the opposite direction at a velocity of 10 m/a grabs hold of the side of the ship...

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

I showed my work in the picture attached.

*Note that in this problem the astronaut is traveling in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This means when you plug in the velocity of the astronaut into your formula, you will have to make the value negative. I almost made this mistake when answering (on left in picture).
