The force applied would be zero as a freely floating astronaut feels weightlessness as the gravitational force acting on him is zero.

0.2 meters per second in the direction opposite where he threw the wrench.


What might happen if an astronaut floating in space moved the north poles of two magnets together and let them go?

The result would be the same as on Earth (except in 3D). Something different would happen (i) if the astronaut let go of one magnet before the other or (ii) if there were two astronauts, with one magnet each. (In space, the astronaut could spin, as well (except much more slowly).)


What do astronaut beds look like?

Since there is no gravity to hold astronauts in their beds they have to sleep in zipped up sleeping bags that are strapped to the inside of the space station, space shuttle or whatever they are in.


What constitutes the size of a satellite versus its orbit distance?

There is no relation between the size of a satellite and the size or period of its orbit. Picture an astronaut on a space-walk, floating and hovering six feet from the Space Shuttle. The shuttle's size and mass are both several hundred times the size and mass of the astronaut, but he's in the same earth orbit as the Shuttle is. That's why they stay together. The mathematical relationship ties the satellite's orbital distance to its period ... the time it takes to complete one trip around the orbit. But the satellite's size makes no difference at all; and as long as its mass is nowhere near the mass of the central body, its mass doesn't make any difference either.


What does a gigantic water tank have to do with astronaut training?

It allows astronauts to get used to maneuvering in a large bulky suit in an environment that has them floating around instead standing on firm ground.

A 81 kg astronaut floating in space throws a 5.9 kg rock at 5.3 meters per sec. How fast does the astronaut move backward?

He deposits (5.9 x 5.3) kg-m/sec of momentum to the rock, in that direction ---> . Since momentum is conserved, he himself must acquire the same amount of momentum in this direction <---. (His mass) times (his speed) = (5.9 x 5.3) His speed = (5.9 x 5.3) / (his mass) = (5.9 x 5.3 / 81) = 0.386 m/s (rounded)


Who invented the first satellite?

The first artificial satellite was made by the USSR. It was launched in 1957 and named Sputnik.The Russians put the first satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. It was during the cold war, and it felt very odd knowing that 'something' made by Russia was floating around up there.
