In the classic 1960s science fiction comic book The Atom, a physicist discovers a basketball-sized meteorite (about 10 cm in radius) that is actually a fragment of a white dwarf star. With some difficulty, he manages to carry the meteorite back to his laboratory. Estimate the mass of such a fragment. Is the assumption that he could carry it back reasonable?

On a horizontal frictionless surface, a small block with mass 0.200 kg has a collision with a block of mass 0.400 kg. immediately after the collision, the 0.200 kg block is moving at 12.0 m/s in the direction 30° north of east and the 0.400 kg block is moving at 11.2 m/s in the direction 53.1° south of east. use coordinates where the +x-axis is east and the +y-axis is north.(a) what is the total kinetic energy of the two blocks after the collision (in ) what is the x-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your ) what is the y-component of the total momentum of the two blocks after the collision? (indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
