3. Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially asteroid A has a mass of 2 x 107 kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3 × 107 kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60° with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5 x 107 kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle. After the collision, the resulting single asteroid is moving toward the right at a speed of 50 m/s. Determine the speed and angle of asteroid C prior to the collision.

4. A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so that its mass decreases with time.Suppose that the initial mass of the rocket at liftoff (including its fuel) is m, the fuel isconsumed at rate r, and the exhaust gases are ejected with constant velocity ν (relativeto the rocket). A model for the velocity of the rocket at time t is given by the equationv(t) = −ν ln(1 −Rt) −gt,where g is the acceleration due to gravity, R = r/m, and t is not too large.(a) Find an expression for the acceleration, a(t) = v′(t), of the rocket at any time t.(b) Find an expression for the position of the height, h(t), of the rocket at any timet. You can assume that at t = 0, the rocket hasn’t left the ground. Hint: re-member that ν,R,g are all constants and t is the independent variable.Write out your steps carefully!(c) Let g = 9.8 m/s2, R = 0.005 s−1.
