A satellite was in two separate crashes. In both crashes, the satellite had the same mass. Engineers want to know about the speed and direction of the satellite after the crashes. Why would the crash affect the motion of the satellite, and which crash caused a greater change in motion for the satellite

brainliest?

Explanation:

Crashing into the asteroid would cause the satellite to slow down, stop, or reverse direction, because it is a force in the opposite direction to the satellite's motion. Whichever crash was a stronger force would cause it to change motion more. It takes a stronger force to change the velocity of a more massive object.

My guess onto answer this question is by saying that if something is crashed into something, it will either stay in a position or continue to move. In this case it's a satellite which is in space, and there was 2 crashes.. So the first crash does effect the motion because there is no gravity so it would continue to move, and then the 2nd crash would. also make it continually move. It has the same mass because of space. It might change if the satellite slowly breaks from every crash, but therefore, the crash of the satellite would affect the motion because it is in space and would continually move. The second part is asking which crash caused a great change in motion, typical it shouldn't matter because we wouldnt know. If they told us any damage or the way it impacted on each crash, we could know. But if I were have to say, the 1st crash put the greater motion into it because the satellite at first was gliding through space, and the crash is the thing that set it in motion, so it was greater, and then the 2nd crash would jus keep putting it into motion, it shouldnt be greater.. Hoped this helped

0.11 m/s and 0.28 m/s should be correct

the total distance traveled by the car is

30km + 49km = 79 km .
