(a) What is the angle between the force and momentum vectors? (b) Find the component of the force parallel to the probe's momentum vector. (c) Find the component of the force perpendicular to the probe's momentum vector. (d) Calculate the radius of curvature of the probe's path at this point.

A baseball arrives at home plate at a speed of 43.3 m/s. The batter hits the ball along the same straight line directly back at the pitcher at 68.4 m/s (think about the directions). The baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg and the bas is in contact with the ball for 6.28x10^-4 s. What is the magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat?
Two asteroids with the same mass are in the connecting line between Mars andJupiter. Asteroid A, initially moves straight (positive x-axis) with velocity40 m / s deflected 30 ° to the direction it was coming from, when hitting Asteroid Awhich was initially silent. After collision Asteroid B moves in 45 ° direction towards Asteroid A.(a) Find the velocity of each asteroid after the collision.(b) What percentage of energy was lost from Asteroid A during the collision?
An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only a rope and a bag of tools. First he tries to throw a rope to his fellow astronaut, but the rope is too short. In a last ditch effort, the astronaut throws his bag of tools in the direction of his motion, away from the space station. The astronaut has a mass of ma = 124 kg and the bag of tools has a mass of m = 13.0 kg. If the astronaut is moving away from the space station at Vj = 1.20 m/s initially, what is the minimum final speed vpf of the bag of tools with respect to the space station that will keep the astronaut from drifting away forever? Ub.f = m/s
