Solve the all parts of given question:
Question: A 1.6 x 1010 kg asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady 15 km/s. To save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. The rocket generates 5.2 x 109 N of thrust. The rocket is fired when the asteroid is 6.0 x 106 km away from earth. You can ignore the earth's gravitational force on the asteroid and their rotation about the sun.
Part A: If the mission fails, how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth?
Part B: The radius of the earth is 6400 km. By what minimum angle (in degrees) must the asteroid be deflected to just miss the earth?
Part C: The rocket fires at full thrust for 300 s before running out of fuel. At what angle is the asteroid deflected?
I want help to find how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth.
