An 80

Subject:PhysicsPrice: Bought3

An 80.0 kg astronaut carrying a 15.0 kg tool kit is initially drifting away from the space station at a speed of 1.50 m/s.

a) If she throws the tool kit in a direction away from the station with a speed of 6.00 m/s (as seen from the station), what is her final speed and direction?

b) Did the astronaut save herself? Is the astronaut now drifting towards the space station or is she still drifting away from the space station? Give reasoning.
