A small asteroid (mass of 150 g ) strikes a glancing blow at a satellite in empty space. The satellite was initially at rest and the asteroid was traveling at 2500 m/s . The satellite's mass is 140 kg . The asteroid is deflected 10 ∘ from its original direction and its speed decreases to 1200 m/s , but neither object loses mass.
a.Determine the direction and of the satellite after the collision. Assume the initial direction of the asteroid as +x-axis.
b.Determine the speed of the satellite after the collision

A cue ball traveling at 6.47 m/s makes a glancing, elastic collision with a target ball of equal mass that is initially at rest. The cue ball is deflected so that it makes an angle of 30.0° with its original direction of travel. (a) Find the angle between the velocity vectors of the two balls after the collision. 90 ° (correct) (b) Find the speed of each ball after the collision. cue ball m/s target ball m/s
We observe a glancing collision between two billiard balls of the same mass. The first ball is incident at a speed of 5.72 m/s, strikes the second ball (initially at rest) and moves off with a speed of 5.03 m/s at an angle of 28.5° counterclockwise from the original line of motion. The second ball is initially at rest and after the collision moves off with a velocity which we wish to describe with respect to the first ball's original...
A billiard ball moving at a speed of 7.95 m/s strikes an identical stationary ball a glancing blow. After the collision, one ball is found to be moving at a speed of 1.80 m/s in a direction making a 59.5 ° with the original line of motion. What is the speed of the other ball? At what angle is it moving? Give your answer in degrees. (Hint: use conservation of linear momentum)
4. Space Junk (8 points) A satellite, with a mass of 60 kg, is traveling at a velocity vs = 75 m/s in the x direction, as shown in the figure below. It is struck by a wrench, with a mass of 3 kg, accidentally dropped by an astronaut, which is moving at a velocity Vw -170 m/s in the negative y direction. The collision is completely inelastic. (a) (2 points) Before the collision, what is the wrench's kinetic energy?...
S m 6. (19 points) A projectile of mass m= 2.00kg is fired at an asteroid of mass M = 400kg at a speed of vo = 1000 in the direction shown. The asteroid breaks into two pieces, m = 100kg and m2 = 300kg. The final speeds of the asteroid pieces are v, =10.00 and v, = 5.00 in the S directions shown. What are the final speed and direction of the velocity of the projectile after the collision?...
A hockey puck of mass 0.39 kg is shot west at 2.90 m/s strikes a second puck, initially at rest, of mass 0.55 kg. As a result of the collision, the first puck is deflected at an angle of 33° south of west, with a speed of 1.45 m/s. What is the speed of the second puck after the collision?
A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision course with the Earth. The asteroid has an estimated mass, based on its size, of 5 x 10°kg. It is approaching the Earth on a head-on course with a velocity of 560 m/s relative to the Earth and is now 4.5x106 km away. Part A With what speed will it hit the Earth's surface, neglecting friction with the atmosphere? Express your answer using two significant figures. V...

Superman comes to the rescue of the planet and flies towards the asteroid as shown in the picture below. Superman has a mass of 100 kg and is flying with an initial speed of 1x104 m/s. After the collisiorn Superman comes to rest and the asteroid breaks into two pieces. Speed of the 200...
8. A hockey puck (1) of mass 140 g is shot west at a speed of 8.20 m/s. It strikes a second puck (2), initially at rest, of mass 161 g. As a result of the collision, the first puck (1) is deflected at an angle of 48° south of west and the second puck (2) moves at an angle of 46° north of west. What is the magnitude of the velocity of puck (1) after the collision?
A disk of mass m, = 70.0 g and radius r , = 4.50 cm slides on a frictionless sheet of ice with velocity v, where v = 12.00 m/s, as shown in a top-down view in figure (a) below. The edge of this disk just grazes the edge of a second disk in a glancing blow. The second disk has a mass m2 = 140 g, a radius r2 = 6.00 cm, and is initially at rest. As the...
