About 50,000 years ago, a meteor crashed into the earth near present-day Flagstaff, Arizona. Measurements from 2005 estimate that this meteor had a mass of about kg (around 150,000 tons) and hit the ground at a speed of (a) How much kinetic energy did this meteor deliver to the ground? (b) How does this energy compare to the energy released by a 1.0-megaton nuclear bomb? (A megaton bomb releases the same amount of energy as a million tons of TNT, and 1.0 ton of TNT releases J of energy.arrow_forwardLee Ben Fardest (esteemed American ski jumper), has a mass of 61.2 kg.
