2. A 'small' asteroid with a mass of 1000kg is moving through deep space with a constant velocity of 30 m/s. Suddenly the small asteroid collides with a large asteroid possessing a mass of 10,000kg. The large asteroid was initially at rest and the collision causes the small mass to become completely embedded within the larger one so that they are now one combined mass. a. What is the speed of the combined mass system after the collision? b. How many Joules of energy were lost due to the collision?
