It describes the relationship between force and acceleration
its a solid from the pressure they put on a tennis ball would make it full of moving at fast speed matter bites compacted together but still moving.
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2
In this case,
KE = 1/2 * 1569 kg * (15 (m/s))^2 = 176,5 kN
"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.
