On November 2021, NASA launched a DART impactor with a mass = 610 kg. On 26 September 2022, it impacted head-on with Dimorphos, a target asteroid of mass =
4.8e+09 kg. Assume that the initial velocity of the asteroid was VDimorphos =<1.5e-01, 0> m/s, and the DART impactor had an initial velocity of VDART = <-2.1e+03,
-6.5e+03> m/s.
(a) What was the total momentum of the system of the DART impactor and Dimorphos?
<-1281000
-3965000
> kg m/s
(b) What was the final velocity of Dimorphos after the impactor crashed on it?
<-0.0001168 X -0.8238
X > m/s
