Question
A spherical satellite of approximately uniform density with radius 5.4 m and mass 300 kg is originally moving with velocity <2600, 0, 0>m/s, and is originally rotating with an angular speed 2 rad/s, in the direction shown in the diagram. A small piece of space junk of mass 5.1 kg is initially moving toward the satellite with velocity <−2200, 0, 0>m/s. The space junk hits the edge of the satellite as shown in the figure below, and moves off with a new velocity <−1300, 480, 0>m/s. Both before and after the collision, the rotation of the space junk is negligible.
What is the rise in the internal energy of the satellite and space junk combined?
