Chapter 7, Problem 3P

On August 10, 1972, a large meteorite skipped across theatmosphere above the western United States and western Canada,

much like a stone skipped across water. The accompanying fireball was so bright that it could be seen in the daytime sky and was brighter than the usual meteorite trail. The meteorite’s mass was about 4 × 10⁶ kg; its speed was about 15 km/s. Had it entered the atmosphere vertically, it would have hit Earth’s surface with about the same speed. (a) Calculate the meteorite’s loss of kinetic energy (in joules) that would have been associated with the vertical impact.(b) Express the energy as a multiple of the explosive energy of1 megaton of TNT, which is 4.2 × 10¹⁵ J. (c) The energy associated with the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima was equivalent to13 kilotons of TNT. To how many Hiroshima bombs would the meteorite impact have been equivalent?

Will you please walk me through the calculations in more detail for solving this problem? I am a bit rusty on calculus and confused about the specific steps of the derivation: https://www.bartleby.com/solution-answer/chapter-3-problem-15e-modern-physics-2nd-edition/9780805303087/7cf8c31d-9476-46d5-a5a9-b897b16fe6fc

please help with the abstract. Abstract - This document outlines the format of the lab report and describes the Excel assignment. The abstract should be a short paragraph that very briefly includes the experiment objective, method, result and conclusion. After skimming the abstract, the reader should be able to decide whether they want to keep reading your work. Both the format of the report and the error analysis are to be followed. Note that abstract is not just the introduction and conclusion combined, but rather the whole experiment in short including the results. I have attacted the theory.

Using the Experimental Acceleration due to Gravity values from each data table, Data Tables 1, 2, and 3; determine the Standard Deviation, σ, mean, μ, variance, σ2 and the 95% Margin of Error (Confidence Level) Data: Ex. Acc. 1: 12.29 m/s^2. Ex. Acc. 2: 10.86 m/s^2, Ex. Acc. 3: 9.05 m/s^2
