An 2000 kg asteroid travels through space at a constant 3 km/s in the +x direction. An alien spaceship lands on the asteroid and grabs it. The spaceship has a mass of 2400 kg and was traveling at 8 km/s at an angle of 40 degrees relative to the +x-axis (towards the northeast) before the collision. What is the magnitude and direction of the asteroid and spaceship’s velocity after the landing? Include a sketch of the before and after motion, with coordinate system.
