Write a paper on the following:
You are still orbiting earth, as one of the astronauts on the International Space Station. In moving between compartments, you come to a complete stop and cannot reach any handholds.Describe several approaches you might take to get moving again, and use the principle of conservation of momentum to assess how well or poorly each approach would work. How will you finally get to your destination on the station?

Overview
There exist circumstances in which it is difficult to replicate, such as creating an acceleration
again when you come to a stop and no available supports to apply force to start accelerating. This
condition may not be applicable here on earth since there is a force of gravity, allowing us to be
in interaction with the ground hence we can use the needed force to keep moving. In space, it is a
significant problem that astronauts need to understand as they are in an orbit where there is no
gravity. Astronauts will experience drifting concerns and be stranded until a specific external
force is used to help them keep moving (Anderson, 2018). In this paper, I will be analyzing the
techniques that will help the strand...
