What is the final velocity of the asteroid

Reference no: EM13492430

As seen from the window of a space station, a 99.0 kg satellite sailing along at 9.4 m/s collides head-on with a small 286.0 kg asteroid, which was initially at rest. Assume the collision to be elastic. Indicate a change of direction with a negative sign.

(a) What is the final velocity of the satellite?

(b) What is the final velocity of the asteroid?
