Two asteroids in outer space collide and stick together. The mass of each asteroid, and the velocity of each asteroid before

the impact, are known. To find the momentum of the stuck-together asteroids after the impact, what approach would be

useful?

(A) Use the Energy Principle.

(B) Use the Momentum Principle.

(C) It depends on whether or not the speed of the asteroids was near the speed of light.

(D) Use the relationship among velocity, displacement, and time.

(E) It depends on whether the collision was elastic or inelastic.
