Consider a solid iron sphere entering the earth's atmosphere at 13 km/s (slightly above es- cape velocity) and at an angle of 15° below the local horizontal. The sphere diameter is 1 m. The drag coefficient for a sphere at hypersonic speeds is approximately 1. The den- sity of iron is 6963 kg/m³. Calculate (a) the altitude at which maximum deceleration oc- curs, (b) the value of the maximum deceleration, and (c) the velocity at which the sphere would impact the earth's surface.
