Two astronauts (each with mass 100 kg) are drifting together through space. they are connected to each other by a rope 5 m in length, and are moving in circles about a point halfway between them (i. e. their center of mass). each astronaut has a speed of 2 m/s. they then pull on the rope, shortening the distance between them to 1 m. you can simplify the system by treating the astronauts as particles, and assuming the rope has negligible mass. then solve the following; set up steps 3-7 separately for each part (you can use the same picture for all parts). a. what are the initial angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? b. what are the final angular momentum and rotational energy of the system? (hint: what is the new velocity of each c. how much work was done by the astronauts in shortening the rope?

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?
