A space probe has a mass of 125 kg.

a) find the relationship between the kinetic energy and the total resting energy of the space probe when it has a speed of 26.0km/s

b) the space probe has changed speed and is headed towards an asteroide. the space probe first sends out a radar signal that comes back after 2.000 seconds. a new signal is sent out 0.500 seconds later.
this time the radar signal comes back after 1.900 seconds later.
how long after the first measurement Will the space probe collide with the asteroide?
