Hi -

Very grateful for expert opinion please ?

Many Thanks

A small asteroid A of mass 75 kg is moving in deep space, well away from the gravitational influence of any large body. It is moving at a speed uA = 5.0ms , in the positive r direction, toward another small asteroid B of mass 65 kg, which may be taken to be stationary. After the collision the asteroids are moving at 54 to each other and each at 270 to the original direction with speeds vA and vp. You may assume that neither asteroid is rotating before or after the collision. (a) Sketch the situation given in the question. Label your diagram with all the physical quantities above and distinguish between before and after the collision. (b) By considering conservation of momentum, determine the speeds va and up of the two asteroids after collision. (c) Show that the collision is inelastic
