Physics

Two asteroids of equal mass in the asteroid belt between Marsand Jupiter collide with a glancing blow. Asteroid A,which was initially traveling at vA1 = 40.0 m/s withrespect to an inertial frame in which asteroid B was atrest, is deflected 30.0 ? from its original direction, whileasteroid B travels at 45.0 ? to the original direction ofA, as shown in (Figure 1).

a: Find the speed of asteroid A after thecollision.

b: Find the speed of asteroid B after thecollision.

c: What fraction of the original kinetic energy of asteroidA dissipates during this collision?
