You're trapped in space. How can you move, if all you have is a hammer?

Answer 1

The same way you move on Earth. I'm not exactly too sure how it works, but your brain sends information, through your nervous system, to your arms, telling it to move.

How do you move from one place to another? Push the object in the opposite direction you want to move. With nothing to hold you down, you will also push yourself away from the object.

Why would this matter? You wont land on any planet safely... If you actually made it back to Earth, you'd burn up in our atmoshpere, and once any other planet's gravity started pulling you in, it'd be too strong for you to survive the impact. And if you did manage to survive that, the planet would not be livable.

And at any rate that your travelling, you wouldn't be travelling fast enough for any of the veiw to change.... And I'm sure you'd be dead in 3 days from dehydration (assuming you have a space suit on to provide you with oxygen, and keep you safe from the vacuum of space which would cause asphyxiation or suffocation).

Answer 2

Use the claw end of the hammer to dig open your flesh and sever an artery. (The femoral artery in your thigh would work well.) The artery will shoot out a jet of blood, which will propel you in the opposite direction. Just be sure the blood jet is aligned with your center of mass, or else it will only spin you in circles.

Answer 3

If you throw the hammer (mass m) in one direction at speed v, you (mass m2) will move in the opposite direction at speed (m*v)/m2

Answer 4

Throw it in the exact opposite direction of which I want to move to.

Answer 5

i would hold on to the hamer and almost thrwoing it

Answer 6
