1 Asteroids Introducing Angular Momentum
Eric Witte

2 Methods Two asteroids of unequal mass
larger one is centered with no angular or linear velocity smaller one approaches with linear velocity and no angular velocity Upon collision, smaller asteroid introduces angular momentum to system Establish rotational axis Had to adjust depending on size of smaller asteroid rotate center of masses about rotational axis Also useful for thinking of bubbles!
