An astronaut in her space suit has a total mass of m₁ = 73.5 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 oxygen tank of mass m₂: 12.0 kg away from her spacecraft with a speed v = 8.50 m/s to propel herself back toward it (see figure). = m₁ m m₂ (a) Determine the maximum distance she can be from the craft and still return within 1.80 min (the amount of time the air in her helmet remains breathable).
