13.33 - Gravitational Potential Energy and Total Points:30 An average-sized asteroid located 8.0x107 km from Earth with mass 4.00x1013 kg is detected headed directly toward Earth with speed of 6.50 km/s. What will its kinetic energy just before it hits Earth? speed be just before it hits our atmosphere? (You may ignore the size of the asteroid.) Submit Answer Tries 0/40 What is the speed of the asteroid just before it hits Earth? Submit Answer Tries 0/40 Compare this energy to the output of the largest fission bomb, 2200 TJ, i.e., find the ratio of the kinetic energy to that of the bomb. (What impact would this have on Earth?) Submit Answer Tries 0/40 Post Discussion Send Feedback
