Question

Consider a spacecraft traveling in outer space at v = 1000 m/s with mass 100 kg. The craft strikes head-on a particle of mass mp = 3 g. Assume the particle is originally at rest and that it is embedded in the spacecraft.

Step 1

The momentum of an object is given by the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. Therefore, momentum of the spacecraft before the collision = 100 kg x 1000 m/s = 100,000 kg*m/s. Show more…
