Answer:

  • 2.3 km/s
  • 11 km/s

Explanation:

The system is made up of three body system which are the boulder, earth and the moon also the sum of potential ad kinetic energies are assumed to be the same also note that the boulder was launched from the moon at an initial velocity

A ) Minimum speed of the boulder for it to reach the earth = 2.3 km/s

B) ignoring air resistance the impact speed on earth of a boulder launched at this minimum speed = 11 km/s

find attached the solution in details
