NASA is launching a probe (m = 500 kg) at a small asteroid (m = 2000 kg). The asteroid is traveling at 100 m/s, and the probe is moving perpendicularly toward it with a speed of 400 m/s. Unfortunately, the landing gear does not work right, so the probe bounces off the asteroid. After the collision, the asteroid is knocked off its course by 71 and is now going 165 m/s. If the probe's speed is now 300 m/s, in what direction is it going?
