Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter collide with a glancing blow. Asteroid , which was initially traveling at 40.0 m/s, is deflected 30 degrees from its original direction, while asteroid travels at 45.0 degrees to the original direction of A. a. Find the speed of asteroid A and B after the collision. What fraction of the original kinetic energy of asteroid dissipates during this collision? b. Starting at t=0s, a horizontal net force F = (0.285 N/s) t i + (-0.450 N/s^2) t^2 j is applied to a smaller piece of the asteroid that has initial momentum p = (-3.15 Kg m/s) i + (3.90 kg m/s) j. What is the momentum at t = 1.85 s?
