Description: an asteroid with a diameter of l0 km and a mass of 260 x 1015 kg impacts the earth at a speed of 320 kms landing in the pacific ocean if 100 of the asteroids kinetic energy goes to boiling t 02737

First, we need to calculate the kinetic energy of the asteroid. The formula for kinetic energy i

Question

An asteroid with a diameter of 10 km and a mass of 2.60 x 10^15 kg impacts the Earth at a speed of 32.0 km/s, landing in the Pacific Ocean. If 1.00% of the asteroid's kinetic energy goes to boiling the ocean water (assume an initial water temperature of 10.0°C), what mass of water will be boiled away by the collision? (For comparison, the mass of water contained in Lake Superior is about 2 x 10^15 kg.)

Step 1

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The mass of the asteroid is given as 2.60 x 10^15 kg and the velocity is given as 32.0 km/s, which is 32000 m/s in SI units. So, the kinetic energy of the asteroid is Show more…
