It is believed to have been formed 20,000 years ago when a meteor with a mass of 5.0x10"kg moving at 7.2km/s collided and merged with the earth. If the earth had been at rest prior to the collision, what would the speed of the earth have been after this collision? The mass of the earth is 5.98x10"kg. 24arrow_forward
- A puck of mass mA that is moving along the +x axis with speed va collides with another puck of mass mB = 2mA. The collision is not head-on, so that after they collide, mB is located at 45◦ south of east, while mA collides head-on elastically with a stationary puck of mass mC = 3mA.
