Two asteroids collide and stick together. The first asteroid has mass of 1.64x104 kg and is initially moving at 790 m/s. The second asteroid has mass of 2.04x10 kg and is moving at 1230 m/s. Their initial velocities made an angle of 15° with respect to each other. What is the final speed and direction with respect to the velocity of the first asteroid? Magnitude = 954 m/s Direction = 11.2 deg

The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ??,2=17.5 m/s when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off. At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying toward the pigeon at an angle θ=47.1° below the horizontal and a speed of ??,1=42.1 m/s. What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey? Speed: What is the magnitude of the angle, measured from horizontal, at which the eagle is flying immediately after the strike?
