Two blocks collide on a frictionless surface. After the collision, the blocks sticktogether. Block A has a mass M and is initial
ly moving to the right at speed v. Block B has amass 2M and is initially at rest. System C is composed of both blocks. (a) Draw a free-bodydiagram for each block at an instant during the collision. (b) Rank the magnitudes of thehorizontal forces in your diagram. Explain your reasoning. (c) Calculate the change inmomentum of block A, block B, and system C.Anybody want to take a crack at this?

Answer:
R=3818Km
Explanation:
Take a look at the picture. Point A is when you start the stopwatch. Then you stand, the planet rotates an angle α and you are standing at point B.
Since you travel 2π radians in 24H, the angle can be calculated as:
t being expressed in hours.
From the triangle formed by A,B and the center of the planet, we know that:
Solving for r, we get:
