It's okay Ben. I'm upset at that number, too. |
So, assuming there's no other way to construct a more explosive bomb, the "Zero Barrier" is really the only thing that needs to be changed in this scenario. So let's see what the newly modified barrier would have to be for this crazy Michael Bay plan to work.
t = Δy/Vf
Δy = 12, 742, 000m
Vf = 0.0246 m/s
t = 517, 967, 479.7 seconds
So, we have the time in seconds, and since we know the initial velocity of the crazy fog asteroid of doom, we can plug that into the distance formula to calculate the new "Zero Barrier".
d = (t)(Vi)
t = 517, 967, 479.7 seconds
Vi = 9834 m/s
d = 50,900,000,000 m
In retrospect, the Chinese space probe Chang'e-2, which was launched in 2010, just reached this distance (50 million km) in outer space in July, marking it as a record in deep space exploration.
China is at it again. |
Not an oxymoron, since they aren't contradictory terms. I'm not even sure there is a word to describe what kind of phrase "iron ferrite" is. Anyway, your calculations are correct, and early detection is our best option.
