You are an astronaut on a space walk when you discover that the jet pack no
longer works, leaving you stranded 25 feet from the spacecraft (relative
velocity =0). If the jet pack is removable, how you can still use it to return to
the ship.
A) You should push the jet pack away in the opposite direction from the spaceship
B) You should push the jet pack away toward the spaceship.
C) Removing the jetpack will allow you to float toward the spaceship

a) case 1
Below you see two cases: a man
pulling or pushing a sled with a
force F that is applied at an angle .
In which case is the normal force
greater for the sled?
b) case 2
c) it’s the same for both
d) depends on the magnitude of
the force F
e) depends on the ice surface
