Center of Mass of an Isolated System
Two astronauts with masses m₁ = 70 kg and m₂ = 80 kg are initially at rest relative to their spacecraft. The first astronaut pushes the second, acquiring a velocity of 0.5 m/s relative to the spacecraft. What is the displacement of the center of mass of the two-astronaut system, relative to the spacecraft, after 10 seconds?
A
0.5 m
B
2.33 m
C
0 m
D
5 m
