Re: Asteroid on collision path with earth
I'm posting from the UK because I'm both a British Citizen and our systems are configured with a basic GMT format.

The asteroid measures 677 km by 439 km and has a mass of 5.37 x 5320 kg. It has a magnitude of +5.4
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20648243


5.37 X 5320 KG ? LMAO. That's only 28,568 KG.
62,982 pounds. Nothing 420 miles long can weigh
that little, and impact the Earth at all.
it would totally burn up in the atmosphere.

i noticed that when i first read it too, back when the thread only had a few pages. cant believe nobody else noticed till 10 pages lol

Re: Asteroid on collision path with earth
Distance from Impact: 50.00 km ( = 31.10 miles )
Projectile diameter: 650.00 meters ( = 2130.00 feet )
Projectile Density: 3000 kg/m3
Impact Velocity: 5500.00 km per second ( = 3420.00 miles per second ) (Your chosen velocity is higher than the maximum for an object orbiting the sun)
Impact Angle: 90 degrees
Target Density: 1000 kg/m3
Target Type: Liquid water of depth 2.0 km ( = 1.2 miles ), over crystalline rock.
Energy:
Energy before atmospheric entry: 6.52 x 1024 Joules = 1.56 x 109 MegaTons TNT
The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth during the last 4 billion years is 1.3 x 109years
Major Global Changes:
The Earth is not strongly disturbed by the impact and loses negligible mass.
The impact does not make a noticeable change in the tilt of Earth's axis (< 5 hundreths of a degree).
The impact does not shift the Earth's orbit noticeably.
Atmospheric Entry:
The projectile begins to breakup at an altitude of 147000 meters = 481000 ft
The projectile reaches the ground in a broken condition. The mass of projectile strikes the surface at velocity 5460 km/s = 3390 miles/s
The impact energy is 6.43 x 1024 Joules = 1.54 x 109MegaTons.
The broken projectile fragments strike the ground in an ellipse of dimension 0.77 km by 0.77 km
Crater Dimensions:
What does this mean?


The crater opened in the water has a diameter of 172 km ( = 107 miles ).

For the crater formed in the seafloor:
Crater shape is normal in spite of atmospheric crushing; fragments are not significantly dispersed.

Transient Crater Diameter: 57.9 km ( = 36 miles )
Transient Crater Depth: 20.5 km ( = 12.7 miles )

Final Crater Diameter: 98.7 km ( = 61.3 miles )
Final Crater Depth: 1.18 km ( = 0.732 miles )
The crater formed is a complex crater.
The volume of the target melted or vaporized is 3850 km3 = 924 miles3
Roughly half the melt remains in the crater, where its average thickness is 1.46 km ( = 0.908 miles ).
Thermal Radiation:
What does this mean?


Time for maximum radiation: 68.1 milliseconds after impact

Your position is inside the fireball.
The fireball appears 1690 times larger than the sun
Thermal Exposure: 1.23 x 1012 Joules/m2
Duration of Irradiation: 1.34 hours
Radiant flux (relative to the sun): 254000

Effects of Thermal Radiation:

Clothing ignites

Much of the body suffers third degree burns

Newspaper ignites

Plywood flames

Deciduous trees ignite

Grass ignites

Seismic Effects:
What does this mean?


The major seismic shaking will arrive approximately 10 seconds after impact.
Richter Scale Magnitude: 10.0 (This is greater than any earthquake in recorded history)
Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 50 km:

X. Most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations. Some well-built wooden structures and bridges destroyed. Serious damage to dams, dikes, embankments. Large landslides. Water thrown on banks of canals, rivers, lakes, etc. Sand and mud shifted horizontally on beaches and flat land. Rails bent slightly.

XI. As X. Rails bent greatly. Underground pipelines completely out of service.

XII. As X. Damage nearly total. Large rock masses displaced. Lines of sight and level distorted. Objects thrown into the air.

Ejecta:
What does this mean?


The ejecta will arrive approximately 1.69 minutes after the impact.
Your position is beneath the continuous ejecta deposit.
Average Ejecta Thickness: 803 meters ( = 2630 feet )
Mean Fragment Diameter: 4.19 meters ( = 13.7 feet )

Air Blast:
What does this mean?


The air blast will arrive approximately 2.53 minutes after impact.
Peak Overpressure: 8.9e+08 Pa = 8900 bars = 126000 psi
Max wind velocity: 24000 m/s = 53700 mph
Sound Intensity: 179 dB (Dangerously Loud)
Damage Description:

Multistory wall-bearing buildings will collapse.

Wood frame buildings will almost completely collapse.

Multistory steel-framed office-type buildings will suffer extreme frame distortion, incipient collapse.

Highway truss bridges will collapse.

Highway girder bridges will collapse.

Glass windows will shatter.

Cars and trucks will be largely displaced and grossly distorted and will require rebuilding before use.

Up to 90 percent of trees blown down; remainder stripped of branches and leaves.
Tsunami Wave:
What does this mean?

Your location is within the crater formed in the water layer. This is where the impact tsunami wave is generated.

Sadly nothing will hit us. And we will all be here tomorrow and many years after that! I promise.
 Quoting: TRU

You and Astromut think that space is an environment similar to that of a Care Bears show : all peace and love and nothing bad EVER happens. EVER.

I'm ready buttercup. But I think some of these other people will literally go crazy. I've been in an emergency situation before and my brain went dead calm, so I know it's cool. Plus I've come to terms with my own mortality because I died on an operating table and was brought back.

Others will be shocked when they understand how scary and out of control it feels to A) know you're dying and B) actually die. Wait for it, it's going to freak the cr@p out of you.

Re: Asteroid on collision path with earth
I'll make this quick.

I work for an astronomical society based in South America. At 1200hrs today a massive asteroid was spotted heading on a collision course with Earth. The media are expected to make an announcement in the next 5 hours starting with an address from the President of the United States. This is Genuine. Please take this as a friendly warning to prepare beforehand.

The Scientists over here have predicted that the Asteroid will make impact with Earth at approximately 2200hrs GMT on 2nd August 2012.

Respectfully.
