OUTCOME CS2- only attempt if not mastered on previous exam
I can use momentum conservation to predict and describe the behavior of a system, especially involving collisions
CS2: An 4000 kg asteroid travels through space at a constant 3.2kms in the +x direction. An alien spaceship lands on the asteroid and grabs it. The spaceship has a mass of 5400 kg and was traveling at 8.6kms at an angle of 29 degrees relative to the +x-axis (towards the northeast) before the collision. What is the magnitude and direction of the asteroid and spaceship's velocity after the landing? Include a sketch of the before and after motion, with coordinate system.
