Two asteroids collide in space. The collision is not completely inelastic--the asteroids pull apart and continue on their way. Their masses are 8.7 X 108 kg for Asteroid A and 3.4 X 108 kg for Asteroid B. Treat Asteroid A as being initially at rest. Asteroid B, moving at high speed, strikes Asteroid A and moves from the collision at a speed of 7300 m/s in a direction 48 degrees from its original path. Meanwhile, Asteroid A moves away from...
