b.
T=0.5 s

Solve to K'


I really wish I could be helping you. I don't know.
(D) The gravitational force between the astronaut and the asteroid.
Reason :
All the other forces given in the options, except (D), doesn't account for the motion of the astronaut. They are the forces that act between nucleons or atoms and neither of them accounts for an objects motion.
Answer:
Explanation:
angular momentum of the putty about the point of rotation
= mvR where m is mass , v is velocity of the putty and R is perpendicular distance between line of velocity and point of rotation .
= .045 x 4.23 x 2/3 x .95 cos46
= .0837 units
moment of inertia of rod = ml² / 3 , m is mass of rod and l is length
= 2.95 x .95² / 3
I₁ = .8874 units
moment of inertia of rod + putty
I₁ + mr²
m is mass of putty and r is distance where it sticks
I₂ = .8874 + .045 x (2 x .95 / 3)²
I₂ = .905
Applying conservation of angular momentum
angular momentum of putty = final angular momentum of rod+ putty
.0837 = .905 ω
ω is final angular velocity of rod + putty
ω = .092 rad /s .
