Roots are important in photosynthesis because they help take up water to be transported into the plant. The roots will absorb water from the ground, move them through the plant via the xylem, and will eventually bring water to the leaves.

(a)
The velocity of the meteorite just before hitting the ground is:
$v=20 km/s=20000 m/s$
The loss of energy of the meteorite corresponds to the kinetic energy the meteorite had just before hitting the ground, so:
$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.4 \cdot 10^6 kg)(20000 m/s)^2=6.8 \cdot 10^{14}J$

(b) 1 megaton of tnt is equal to $1 MT=4.2 \cdot 10^{15}J$
To find to how many megatons the meteorite energy loss $\Delta E$
corresponds, we can set the following proportion
$1 MT: 4.2 \cdot 10^{15}J=x: \Delta E$
And so we find
$x= \frac{\Delta E}{4.2 \cdot 10^{15}J} = \frac{6.8 \cdot 10^{14}J }{4.2 \cdot 10^{15}J} =0.162 MT$
So, 0.162 megatons.

(c) 1 Hiroshima bomb is equivalent to 13 kilotons (13 kT). The impact of the meteorite had an energy of $\Delta E=0.162 MT=162 kT$ . So, to find to how many hiroshima bombs it corresponds, we can set the following proportion:
$1:13 kT=x:162 kT$
And so we find
$x= \frac{162 kT}{13 kT}=12.46$
So, the energy released by the impact of the meteorite corresponds to the energy of 12.46 hiroshima bombs.
