    How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet?

    At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3500-kg space tug and a 6200-kg asteroid. Using their ship's engine, they pull on the asteroid with a force of 490 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 450 m apart. How much time...

    A NASA satellite has just observed an asteroid that is on a collision...

    If it's travelling at 604ms^-1 then due to newtons second law should hit earth at the same speed of 604ms^-1. newtons second law states that an object will move at a constant verlocity or remain at rest unless an outside force acts upon it.
