A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o

f Callisto is 1.08 × 1023 kg. The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero kg · m/s, what is the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision?

Answer:

Recoil speed, 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg

Speed of the comet fragment, v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s

Mass of Callisto, m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s
