Question

Three asteroids coated with cosmic slime are moving in the same plane when they collide and stick together. Initially, asteroid A has a mass of 2*10⁷ kg and is moving to the right at a speed of 150 m/s, asteroid B has a mass of 3*10⁷ kg and is moving at 50 m/s towards the lower left at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to asteroid A, while asteroid C has a mass of 5*10⁷ kg and is moving with an unknown speed and angle. After the collision, the resulting single asteroid is moving toward the right at a speed of 50 m/s.

Determine the speed and angle of asteroid C prior to the collision.
