A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing
experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various
initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to
the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p
3.06 x 106 g/m³ and volume
V = 3.32 x 1012 m³. Recall that the universal gravitational constant is G :
6.67 x 10-11 N-m²/kg².

On Oct 31 2015, massive asteroid TB145 nicknamed "Spooky" passed near the Earth
vicinity. The measured diameter of the asteroid: 600meters, and its speed relative to
the Sun: 30.5 km/s.
(NOTE you are not given the parameters of collision, so they become important part
of the "worst case -best case scenario.") Treat the asteroid as spherical object with
the density of between 3g/cm³ to 4g/cm³. Treat an Earth's orbit around the Sun as a
perfect circle of radius =150 x 106 km. Take one year to be 365.24days.
Find the worst case scenario for the collision of such object with the Earth and find
the Maximum energy released in the completely inelastic collision of this object with
Earth. State your answers to the nearest mega-ton of TNT. (1 megaton of TNT=
4.184 X1015J).

In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules.
