Two asteroids strike head-on: before the collision, asteroid A(ma = 7.5 × 1012 kg) has velocity 3.3 km/s and asteroid B(mg = 1.45 × 1o3 kg) has velocity 1.4 km/s in the oppositedirection. If the asteroids stick together, what is the veloc-ity (magnitude and direction) of the new asteroid after thecollision?

Let uA and uB be the initial velocity of Asteroid A and B respectively.Let v be the final combined…

Suppose M1 (1 kg) is moving at 3 m/s in the + x direction. M2 (2 kg) is moving at 3 m/s in the -x direction. If they collide and stick together, what will be their final velocity (in m/s)?
1). A 2500 kg asteroid is traveling through empty space at 340 m/s. The asteroid explodes into two pieces. The 1900 kg piece continues in the same direction at 570 m/s. What is the velocity of the 600 kg piece (both magnitude and direction)? 2.) What is the change in kinetic energy for the system?
An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 ms1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 ms-1 speed. If the third part files off with 4 ms- speed, then its mass is?
Godzilla is fighting Mothra in Tokyo (again). Godzilla climbs a tall building and, while standing on the top of the building, Mothra slams into him at a speed of 400 m/s. Godzilla grabs onto Mothra during the impact and they are thrown from the top of the building. If Godzilla has a mass of 9 * 103 kg and Mothra has a mass of 3.1 * 103 kg, how fast are the two monsters going as they pitch from the top of the building?
In this problem, an astronaut is landes on the 6.1×1021 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonates a nuclear bomb. The asteroid breaks into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30∘ and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece?

A small comet moves at velocity 5050 m/s. Heat from the sun makes it break into two smaller pieces. The first piece has mass 1250-kg and velocity 5720 m/s in the same direction as before. The second piece has mass 2400-kg. What is its velocity? magnitude direction
A boxer hits a heavy bag during his training. The impact time is 0.11 s and the speed of the boxer's fist just before the blow is 23.4 m / s, after the collision the boxer's fist remains at rest. What is the average force of the bag on the boxer if we consider that the total mass of the hand and the boxing glove is 2863 g? Note: We take as the positive direction of our coordinate frame, the one that points in the direction that the boxer's fist was moving before the collision. a) -609.0382 N b) -609038.1818 N c) 609.0382 N d) 609038.1818 N |

In this problem, an astronaut is landing on the 6.1×1021 kg asteroid traveling at 9830 m/s and detonates a nuclear bomb. The asteroid will break into two pieces of equal mass. One piece will fly off at an angle of 30∘ and speed 9700 m/s. What will be the speed and angle of the second piece?
A 7920 kg space probe, moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 108 m/s relative to the Sun, fires its rocket engine, ejecting 85.0 kg of exhaust at a speed of 255 m/s relative to the space probe. What is the final velocity of the probe?
An astronaut of mass 65.0 kg is at rest relative to her space vehicle with nothing behind her except the empty,dark, vacuum of space. Another astronaut decides to play a practical joke on her and throws a 10.0 kg anvil(because those are totally used in space) at her with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. How fast do she and the anvil moveonce she catches it? Just to lower your anxiety, there is a way for her to get back to the space vehicle
