<span>To find the acceleration we are given two facts to begin. The impact at 16 km/h and the dent of 6.4 cm, or 0.064 meters. In solving the problem uniform acceleration is assumed, which would mean the avg speed during the impact was 8 km/hr by taking 16/2. We know distance = rate*time (d=r*t) . So t = d / r, so 0.64/8 = 0.008hr for t. Now we can solve for acceleration by taking a = 16 / 0.008 = 2000 km/hr.</span>

Law Incorporation [45]
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is r=6940 km=6.94 \cdot 10^6 m, the gravitational force is F=9.21 \cdot 10^4 N and the mass of the Earth is m_1=5.98 \cdot 10^{24} kg, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
m_2 =  \frac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}= \frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94\cdot 10^6)^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})} =11121 kg
