Question: Suppose two asteroids strike head on . Asteroid A ( mA = 7 . 5 X 1 0 1 2 kg ) has velocity 3

Suppose two asteroids strike head on. Asteroid A (mA =7.5X1012 kg) has velocity 3.3km/s before the collision, and asteroid B (mB =1.45X1013 kg) has velocity 1.4 km/s before the collision in the opposite direction. If the asteroids stick together, what is the velocity of the new asteroid after the collision?
