Yes, because gravity will pull objects down to Earth.
perpendicular to the wave motion.
Explanation:
what exactly are you asking for?
As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg
The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s
When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.
We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.
The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -
![Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kinetic%5C%20energy%5C%20%5BK.E%5D%5C%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20mv%5E2)
![=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D50kg%2A%5B1000%5C%20m%2Fs%5D%5E2)

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.
