It is thought that an asteroid on a collision course with Earth could be deflected by

making a fast moving spacecraft collide with it when it is still very far away.

To test this idea, there are plans to send a spacecraft, DART, to collide with a small

asteroid. After the collision, DART and the asteroid will stick together.

2 Mark s

Suppose that DART will collide at 90° to the direction of the asteroid’s velocity.

The asteroid is orbiting at a speed of 0.16

Calculate the angle through which the velocity of the asteroid is deflected.
