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?

7. see worksheet 1 for values of variables x1, x2 and x3 and answer the following questions: a. for each variable find the mean, median, coefficient of skewness, range and population standard deviation. b. compared to variable x1, how are the mean and median affected by extreme values (outliers) seen in x2 and x3. c. is the median or mean the better measure of location for x2 and x3? explain. d. explain the differences in the magnitudes of the skewness coefficients for the three variables. e. what is the relationship between the range and standard deviation looking across the three variables?
