One thing we learned from the impact of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in 1994 was that the comet fragments apparently contained compounds, which vaporized in Jupiter's atmosphere and created a dark plume.

Carbon

Explanation:

In July 1992 comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 dissembles and collided with Jupiter in July 1994. This collision had many effects on Jupiter, such as increase in temperature (reaching 30 000 degrees Celsius) .

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
