Assume area B is 18 km from area A and lies in porous sedimentary rock. You are at area A. An iron asteroid strikes area B at 45° with a velocity of 17 km/s. How does the asteroid affect your survival if the asteroid has diameters of 1 m, 10 m, 100 m, 1,000 m, 10,000 m, and 100,000 m?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Distance between area A and area B, say AB=18 km.

The asteroid strikes area B at 45° with velocity 17 km/s.

Survival in area A depends upon the radius of the asteroid.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 1m, then its radius is . So, the impact of the asteroid will not affect our survival in area A.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 10m, then its radius is . So the impact of the asteroid will not affect our survival in area A.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 100m, then its radius is. So, the impact of the asteroid will not affect our survival in area A.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 1000m, then its radius is. So, the impact of the asteroid will not affect our survival in area A.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 10000m, then its radius is. So, the impact of the asteroid will not affect directly our survival, but would likely cause certain damage in area A.

If the diameter of the asteroid is 100000m, then its radius is . So, there is no chance of our survival in area A.

Thank you.
