2 Astronaut Rescue In outer space, high above the surface of Mars, a daring rescue is attempted as astronaut Mark Watney hurtles at 3 m/s relative to Commander Melissa Lewis who holds on to one end of an effectively massless tether. When Watney reaches the tether he is traveling perpendicularly to it and is 5 m from Lewis; each of them have a mass of 80 kg. Problem 2.1. In the CoM reference frame for this system, what are the speeds of each astronaut when Watney reaches the tether? Problem 2.2. What is the angular momentum of the two astro- nauts about the rcom?
