Imagine you are in the future and an asteroid is on a trajectory to hit Earth. You and your team get on a spaceship and blast off to save the Earth. The spaceship is equipped with a laser that can disintegrate half the asteroid. The asteroid has a mass of two million kg and a speed of fifteen thousand meters per second. What is the force of the asteroid before and after the laser blast? Why is the force less after the laser blast?
