His mass with his life support system is 240 kg.  He wants to return to his ship so he throws with a force of 10 N his tool kit that has a mass of 2 kg.  What is the acceleration of the tool kit while Darren is throwing it?  What is the force on Darren and what is his acceleration while throwing the tool kit? </SPAN>\n" );
