A shooting star is a meteoroid that burns up when it reaches Earth's atmosphere. Most of these meteoroids are quite small. Calculate the kinetic energy of a meteoroid of mass 5.0 g moving at a speed of 48 km/s and compare it to the kinetic energy of a 1100-kg car moving at 29 m/s = 65 mi/h (Find the ratio of the meteoroid's and car's energies.).
