Problem 55E

CP An asteroid with a diameter of 10 km and a mass of 2.60 X 1015 kg impacts the earth at a speed of 32.0 km/s, landing in the Pacific Ocean. If 1.00% of the asteroid’s kinetic energy goes to boiling the ocean water (assume an initial water temperature of 10.0o C), what mass of water will be boiled away by the collision? (For comparison, the mass of water contained in Lake Superior is about 2 X 1015 kg.)

ANSWER:

Solution 55E

Step 1 :

Mass of asteroid

Diameter of asteroid

Velocity of asteroid

Initial temperature of water

Mass of lake superior

We need to find the mass of water which would get heated due  to  kinetic heat of asteroid
