Complete Question:
Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.
Answer:
m = 0.001 M

Answer:
C 0.85 j/g*k
Explanation:
The specific heat capacity of a material is given by:
where
Q is the amount of heat supplied to the object
m is the mass of the object
is the increase in temperature of the object
For the object in this problem, we have
m = 117 g is the mass
Q = 1200 J is the heat supplied
is the increase in temperature
Substituting into the formula, we find the specific heat:
