Answer:
Yes you worked
Explanation:
You may have not seen a good outcome but you did put effort in.
<span>First, there is no external force acting on the asteroids ( I don't think so, since they are travelling at constant velocity).
Since there is no external force acting on the individual asteroids, their respective momenta are constant in time as well.
So, in your momentum v/s Time graph, the momenta for each asteroid will correspond to a straight line parallel to time axis.
This happens until they collide. On collision an impulse acts on each asteroid ( by Newton's third law, the same magnitude of impulse acts on the two bodies).
Due to this impulse, their respective momenta will change. You just need a little mathematics to figure out the respective momenta after the collision.
Keep in mind there is no external force on the system, so after collision, the asteroids would again move with constant velocities.
(Conservation of linear momentum of the system would help! You just need another equation to find out the velocities)</span>
