The "gravitational slingshot" is a process by which a small object with mass m such as a space probe can make a close approach to a planet with mass M, swing by due to the planet's gravity, and leave the interaction moving faster than it was before. Derive an expression for the object's final velocity v (x and y components) in terms of its initial speed vO, the angle of approach 0, the planet's orbital speed u, the masses, and any physical constants necessary. Please assume Mm to simplify your answer. other У ө
