Question

By observation and and comparison to the size of the Millenium Falcon, let the typical diameter of the asteroids blasted be 40m, which means they have a mass of about 1x10^8kg. Approximately what is the minimum energy yield of the turbolaser blast?

A. 5.4x10^14J B. 2.54x10^14J C3.34x10^14 D. 2.34x10^14 E. 2.64x10^14

useful data

temp of asteroids in space= -100C

temp asteroids melt= 1000C

temp asteroids boil= 2000C

heat capacity for asteroids= 1x10^3

heat of fusion= 300x10^3

heat of vaporization=3000x10^3

Explanation / Answer

1*10^8 (1100*1*10^3 + 300*10^3 + 1000*1*10^3 + 3000*10^3) = 5.4*10^14 J, so A
