Question 5(1 point) You are stuck in space with a baseball a mere 100 yards from the International Space Station. What do you do to get back? Throw the baseball towards the ISS b Throw the baseball away from the ISS Try to swim through space d Push against the baseball but don't release it

## Step 1<br />This problem is based on the principle of conservation of momentum and Newton's third law of motion. According to Newton's third law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when you throw the baseball towards the ISS, the baseball will exert an equal and opposite force on the ISS.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The force exerted by the baseball on the ISS will cause the ISS to move in the opposite direction of the baseball. This is because the force exerted by the baseball on the ISS is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the ISS on the baseball.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />By throwing the baseball towards the ISS, you can create a force that will push the ISS towards you, effectively moving you closer to the ISS.
