What is the rest mass of the asteroid

Reference no: EM13496566

A space probe with a rest mass of 8.1×107kg and a speed of 0.50c smashes into an asteroid at rest and becomes embedded within it. If the speed of the probe-asteroid system is 0.27c after the collision, what is the rest mass of the asteroid?
