Professional Application The Moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.001012 kg (about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon ata speed of 15.0 km/s. (a) At what speed does the Moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the Moon is 7.361022 kg) ? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon. (c) In October 2009, NASA crashed a rocket into the Moon, and analyzed the plume produced by the impact. (Significant amounts of water were detected.) Answer part (a) and (b) for this real-life experiment. The mass of the rocket was 2000 kg and its speed upon impact was 9000 km/h. How does the plume produced alter these results?

Explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both.

Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R.
