Astronomers detect an asteroid 100,000 km from the earth moving at 2 km/s relative to the center of the earth. Suppose the asteroid strikes the earth. Use conservation of energy to determine the magnitude of its velocity as it enters the atmosphere. (You can neglect the thickness of the atmosphere in comparison to the earth’s 6370-km radius.)
