An $85.0 \mathrm{kg}$ astronaut is working on the engines of a spaceship that is drifting through space with a constant velocity. The astronaut turns away to look at Earth and several seconds later is 30.0 m behind the ship, at rest relative to the spaceship. The only way to return to the ship without a thruster is to throw a wrench directly away from the ship. If the wrench has a mass of $0.500 \mathrm{kg},$ and the astronaut throws the wrench with a speed of $20.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$, how long does it take the astronaut to reach the ship?
