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*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 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*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.
If one mass is much greater than the other, the larger mass stays essentially at rest while the smaller mass moves toward it. Suppose a 1.5×1013 kg comet is passing the orbit of Mars, heading straight for the 1.99×1030 kg sun at a speed of 4.5 ×104 m/s. What will its speed be when it crosses the orbit of Mercury? The orbit of Mars is 2.28×108 km, the orbit of Mercury is 5.79×107 km, and G = 6.67×10-11 N⋅m2/kg2.
An astronaut floating at rest in space has run out of fuel in her jetpack. She realizes that throwing tools from her toolkit in the opposite direction will help propel her back toward the space station.

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.70 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.1° south of west at 4.25 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver.

A thin metal rod of mass 1.8 kg and length 0.9 m is at rest in outer space, near a space station (see figure below). A tiny meteorite with mass 0.08 kg traveling at a high speed of 210 m/s strikes the rod a distance 0.2 m from the center and bounces off with speed 60 m/s as shown in the diagram. The magnitudes of the initial and final angles to the x axis of the small mass's velocity are θi= 26° and θf= 82°. Afterward, what is the velocity of the center of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.) Afterward, what is the angular velocity ω→ of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.)
A tennis ball has a mass of 0.055 kg. A professional tennis player hits the ball hard enough to give it a speed of 52 m/s (about 117 miles per hour.) The ball moves toward the left, hits a wall and bounces straight back to the right with almost the same speed (52 m/s). As indicated in the diagram below, high-speed photography shows that the ball is crushed about d = 2.4 cm at the instant when its speed is momentarily zero, before rebounding. D Making the very rough approximation that the large force that the wall exerts on the ball is approximately constant during contact, determine the approximate magnitude of this force.

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.90 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 79.0° south of west at 4.15 m/s.

We know that the mass of the bagged lunch is m = 1.40 kg and the mass of the astronaut is M = 67.0 kg. Before the collision, the bagged lunch moves with a velocity of vi = 1.60 m/s in the positive x-direction and the astronaut is at rest relative to the space station with velocity Vi = 0. MVi + mvi = MVf + mvf to obtain (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (67.0 kg)Vf + (1.40 kg)vf. Because vf = Vf, this further simplifies to (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (1.40 kg + 67.0 kg)Vf. What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision?
Identical twins, each with mass 53.5 kg, are on ice skates and at rest on a frozen lake, which may be taken as frictionless. Twin A is carrying a backpack of mass 12.0 kg.
