Asteroid impact calculator estimates energy release, crater size, and environmental effects based on impact velocity, size, and composition.

ଷ୍ଟେପ୍-ଷ୍ଟେପ୍ ଗାଇଡ୍ |

  1. 1Input asteroid diameter/mass and impact velocity
  2. 2Calculate kinetic energy and TNT equivalent
  3. 3Estimate crater size and damage radius

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
10 km asteroid, 20 km/s impact velocity
ଫଳ
10¹⁸ J energy (100 million megatons TNT), extinction-level event
65 Mya extinction

ଏଡ଼ାଇବା ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ସାଧାରଣ ଭୁଲ

  • Neglecting gravity assist effects
  • Assuming all velocity energy transfers to crater

ବାରମ୍ବାର ଜିଜ୍ଞାସା

How do you calculate impact energy?

KE = 0.5 × m × v²; smaller changes in v have dramatic effects.
