7. In July 2005, NASA's "Deep Impact" mission crashed a 372-kg probe directy che
the surface of the comet Temple 1, hitting the surface at 37000 km/h relative to uhe
comet. The original speed of the comet at that time was about 40000 km/h, and ts
mass was estimated to be in the range (0.1 - 2.5) x1014 kg. Use the smallest value
of the estimated mass.
THOMA
A. What change in the comet's velocity did this collision produce? Would this
change be noticeable?

Pluto and its satellite Charon have masses which are more similar to each other than any other knonw pair of orbiting bodies in the Solar system. How far from the center of pluto is the barycenter or center of mass of the Pluto-Charon system? Take the mass of Pluto to be 1.31 × 10^22 kg, and 1.59 × 10^21 kg for Charon (about one eighth that of Pluto). Assume Pluto and its moon Charon are separated by 19,640 km while the radius of Pluto and Charon are 1190 km and that of Charon are 606 km respectively. Treating Pluto and Charon as spherically symmetric objects, how far from Pluto is the barycenter of the Pluto - Charon pair, and is this point inside are outside of Pluto?
Hint: Place Pluto at the origin and Charon on the x axis.
A. 289 km; inside
B. 781 km; inside
C. 2130 km; outside
D. 5910 km; outside
