Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 60GP
Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of 1.0 × 1013 kg hits the earth with an impact speed of 4.0 × 104 m/s.
a. What is the earth’s recoil speed after such a collision? (Use a reference frame in which the earth was initially at rest.)
b. What percentage is this of the earth's speed around the sun? (Use the astronomical data inside the back cover.)

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 97.7 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 33.0 °. How wide is the river?
