An 2100 kg asteroid travels through space at a constant 5 km/s in the +y direction. An alien spaceship lands on the asteroid and grabs it. The spaceship has a mass of 3400 kg and was traveling at 12 km/s at an angle of 30 degrees relative to the +x axis before the collision. What is the mangitude and direction of the asteroid and spaceship's velocity after the landing? Include a sketch of the before and after motion, with coordinate system.
