Problem 68GP

Two asteroids strike head-on: before the collision, asteroid A (mA = 7.5 x 1012 kg) has velocity 3.3 km/s and asteroid B (mB = 1.45 x 1013 kg) has velocity in the opposite direction. If the asteroids stick together, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the new asteroid after the collision?
