The trouble is none of what she said is true. 1) It is a fact of mathematics that the precision of the total calculation can NEVER be greater than the precision of the least precise measured factor or variable. 2) They will never have enough data about the size shape and density of the target asteroid to make useful calculations ever. Any measurement of the mass and the velocity of the ejected dust will be at best what we called in engineering a WAG - a Wild Ass Guess. This means the best answer they can possibly arrive at is also a WAG.. 3) They could have made that WAG 5-30 minutes after they had they new orbital time or they can never make it at all. There will never be any better data to be had. 4) The next asteroid will be of a completely different composition and density so there will be almost zero transferability of this data to future tests. You would have to run 500 of these tests on different types of asteroids to get anything vaguely useful. . 5) The only real reason for the delay is that presenting the calculations immediately is not impressive enough to politicians to justify the money spent and for future tests. They have to make it look hard. 6) She buzzed right past the most interesting point. Hitting the asteroid did NOT slow it down. It speeded it up! They must have hit it while it was moving away from them. Why would they do that? If you are trying to deflect or stop something you hit it either head on or at an angle on the front as it is coming at you.

@@TimHollingsworth80 Timmy My orbital physics is rusty so you MAY be right on 6) BUT I am absolutely right on the WAG. You did not listen closely. She TOLD you plainly it was a WAG. Things they have zero way of knowing: 1) What the asteroid was make of. If you looked at the picture it is a loosely bound ball of random space junk. There is no way of knowing the density, what it was even mostly made of. 2) There is no way of knowing if there were internal voids or how many. This affects the mass greatly. 3) No way to accurately guess even the volume of a lumpy mass they saw one side of. 4) Absolutely zero way to even wildly guess how much stuff of what mass was ejected at what speed in what directions to be able to reduce that to a single resultant recoil vector for a calculation. If 1% of the total mass of the asteroid was ejected then that is negligible and can be discounted. If it is > that 25% certainly not. Do they have a clue. They do not seem to. You can very accurately measure a few things but if you cannot precisely measure even one variable the precision of the answer is reduced to the precision of that variable. All the rest of the expensive precise measurements were wasted and useless. People like you were not rained to understand this. You watch the shiny object and go OOOOH! You have a boatload of WAGS going into this calculation and all that can possibly come out is a WAG. If you know the beginning and ending mass of the asteroid to a guess of one significant figure (and that would be a stroke of luck) you just get a guess at one significant figure out. Look up what a significant figure is. I was a "top government scientist" and engineer for years. I know the dance steps.

Love your videos and what an exciting update! One little math correction on this one: The change in kinetic energy of the asteroid is 1/2m(vf^2 -vi^2), which is not the same as 1/2m(vf-vi)^2 or 1/2m(delta v)^2 as you wrote. For fun, I was planning on having my physics students calculate how many Joules of (negative) work was done on Dimorphos by the impact and compare it to the kinetic energy of DART before impact. We can use Kepler's laws to derive the initial and final velocities given the orbital period and semimajor axes before and after but if you happen to know the initial and final velocities of Dimorphos, please list them! We'd assume a negligible change in mass of the asteroid. Thanks!

From Scott Manley's analysis of the images showing the typical particle size on Didymos i.e. the lack of anything smaller than large boulders and the early images of the accompanying cube sat of the out flow response from the asteroid it starts to make a lot more sense after all the plume outflows were crazy complex with eruptions of material emerging from the depths of the asteroid all over its surface. I would bet most of that ejecta escaped into space and thus pretty much all contributed to changes in Didymos's orbital angular momentum.

Her point was to calculate an asteroid's final velocity (not delta) after the collision if you know its energy before the collision, and you know how much you can transfer. You only have to "solve for v", which is what she did, and then plug in the final energy of the asteroid. All that "delta e", "delta v" talk is just confusing and misleading. Of course, that formula isn't going to help unless you do the extremely difficult task of calculating an asteroids total kinetic energy just by looking at it. As well as do models of the impact to estimate and optimize the energy transfer.
