An astronaut in his space suit and with a propulsion unit (empty of its gas propellant) strapped to his back has a mass of 146 kg. the astronaut begins a space walk at rest, with a completely filled propulsion unit. during the space walk, the unit ejects some gas with a velocity of 32 m/s. as a result, the astronaut recoils with a velocity of 0.39 m/s. after the gas is ejected, the mass of the astronaut (now wearing a partially empty propulsion unit) is 165 kg. what percentage of the gas was ejected from the completely filled propulsion unit?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
