A metric ton is 1000kgand the explosive energy density of TNT is 4184J/g.Hint: If the asteroid hits the Earth, its relative velocity becomes zero. Ignore any change in asteroid velocity due to gravitational acceleration or air resistance.arrow_forwardIf you took the Earth and reduced its radius to one fourth its current size, what would the escape velocity from the Earth be?arrow_forward

Suppose you put all your delta V to go into an elliptical orbit, what is the semi-major axis of this elliptical orbit assuming the mass of Rhea is 2.3065 ×1021 kg and you can ignore the gravitational effects of Saturn?arrow_forwardOn February 15, 2013, Asteroid 2012 DA14 passed within 17,200 miles [mi] of the surface of the Earth at a relative speed of 7.8 kilometers per second [km/s]. This is considerably closer than the orbit of geosynchronous satellites (26,200 miles). This is the closest recorded approach of an object this large. The asteroid 2012 DA14 was estimated to have a diameter of 30 meters [m] and a specific gravity of 3. If 2012 DA14 had hit the Earth, what is the total amount of energy that would have been released (i.e., what was the kinetic energy of the asteroid)? Express your answer in megatons [Mton]. One megaton is the energy released by one million metric tons of TNT explosive.
