A 670 kg meteorite made up of mostly aluminum, approaches the Earth. The initial temperature of the meteorite is -15.0°C and moves with a speed of 14.0km/s. When the meteorite collides with the Earth, half of its energy goes to Earth while the rest causes an increase in the internal energy of the meteorite which causes a momentary elevation of its temperature. Determine the final temperature of the meteorite if all the aluminum turns into gas. Assume the specific heat capacity for the liquid and gaseous aluminum is 1.17 X103J/kg* oC.
