Jet propulsion and Putting it all together
Meteorite impact with Earth About 65 million years ago a 10-km-diameter 2 X 1015-kg meteorite traveling at about 10 km/s crashed into what is now the Gulf of Mexico. The impact produced a cloud of debris that darkened Earth and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Estimate the speed Earth gained as a result of this impact and the average force that the meteorite exerted on Earth during the collision. Indicate any assumptions made in your calculations.
