Exercise 14

A small asteroid (mass of 10 g) strikes a glancing blow at a satellite in empty space. The satellite was initially at rest and the asteroid was traveling at 2000 m/s. Tire satellite's mass is 100 kg. Tire asteroid is deflected 10° from its original direction and its speed decreases to 1000 nr/s, but neither object loses mass. Determine the (a) direction and (b) speed of the satellite after the collision.
