At what speed does the astronaut move toward the capsule

Reference no: EM13340904

A 70-kg astronaut is space-walking outside the space capsule and is stationary when the tether line breaks. As a means of returning to the capsule he throws his 2.0-kg space hammer at a speed of 14 m/s away from the capsule. At what speed does the astronaut move toward the capsule?
