The space capsule has a mass of 5 Mg and the radii of gyration are kx = kz = 1.30 m and ky = 0.45 m. If it travels with a velocity vG = {400j + 200k} m/s, compute its angular velocity just after it is struck by a meteoroid having a mass of 0.80 kg and a velocity vm = {−300i + 200j − 150k} m/s. Assume that the meteoroid embeds itself into the capsule at point A and that the capsule initially has no angular velocity.
