The space capsule has mass mc and the radii of gyration are k_x = k_z and k_y. If it is traveling with a velocity v_G, compute its angular velocity just after it is struck by a meteoroid having mass m_m and a velocity vm = ( v_xi +v_yj +v_zk ). Assume that the meteoroid embeds itself into the capsule at point A and that the capsule initially has no angular velocity.
