Transcribed Image Text:**Asteroid Collision Dynamics**
Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter collide with a glancing blow. Asteroid \( A \), which was initially traveling at \( v_{A1} = 40.0 \, \text{m/s} \) with respect to an inertial frame in which asteroid \( B \) was at rest, is deflected \( 30.0^\circ \) from its original direction, while asteroid \( B \) travels at \( 45.0^\circ \) to the original direction of \( A \), as shown in Figure 1.
**Figure Explanation**
The figure illustrates the collision:
- **Asteroid \( A \)** is shown approaching asteroid \( B \) with an initial velocity of \( 40.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
- After the collision, asteroid \( A \) changes direction, moving at an angle of \( 30.0^\circ \) from its initial path.
- Asteroid \( B \), initially at rest, moves away at an angle of \( 45.0^\circ \) relative to the original path of asteroid \( A \).
The diagram visually represents these angles and the movement directions with arrows, indicating the velocities and the paths post-collision.
