An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of 87.0 kg, including suit and oxygen tank. Her tether line
loses its attachment to her spacecraft while she’s on a spacewalk. Initially at rest with respect to her
spacecraft, she throws her 12.0-kg oxygen tank away from her spacecraft with a speed of 8.00 m/s to
propel herself back toward it.

(b) Find the speed of the astronaut after she throws the oxygen tank in terms of the variable you
choose above.
