Question

What is the minimum speed with which a meteor strikes the top of Earth’s stratosphere (about 45.0 km above the surface), assuming that the meteor begins as a bit of interplanetary debris far from Earth and stationary relative to Earth? Assume that the drag force is negligible until the meteor reaches the stratosphere. Mass of Earth is 5.974 × 10²⁴ kg; radius of Earth is 6.371 × 10⁶ m; and gravitational constant is 6.674 × 10⁻¹¹N·m²/kg².
