Assume that these fragments came from an infinite distance away with zero initial speed and fell into Jupiter. What was their speed when they arrived at Jupiter's surface? Jupiter has a mass of 1.90 × 1027 kg and a radius of 71.4 × 106 m, and G = 6.67 x 10-11 N•m2/kg2.
A) 10,400 m/s B) 11,200 m/s C) 35,500 m/s D) 42,100 m/s E) 59,600 m/s Title: Re: In 1994, fragments of Comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. Assume tha Post by: duddy on Mar 27, 2012 Content hidden
