8. An alien egg (6.0 kg) is sitting out in space with nothing else nearby. Suddenly (over 0.2 s) the egg breaks into two pieces and flies apart. One piece is 1.5 kg and flies off toward the left at 3.0 m/s. The other piece flies off at 9.0 m/s to the right. A baby alien is now in the spot where the egg was. Solve everything symbolically until asked to solve numerically a. Symbolically, what is the mass of the piece of egg going to the right?

2. A 'small' asteroid with a mass of 800kg is moving through deep space with a constant velocity of 50 m/s. Suddenly the small asteroid collides with a large asteroid possessing a mass of 8,000kg. The large asteroid was initially at rest and the collision causes the small mass to become completely embedded within the larger one so that they are now one combined mass. a. What is the speed of the combined mass system after the collision? b. How many Joules of energy were lost due to the collision?
