An asteroid with a diameter of l0 km and a mass of 2.60 X 1015 kg impacts

Question:

An asteroid with a diameter of l0 km and a mass of 2.60 X 1015 kg impacts the earth at a speed of 32.0 km/s, landing in the Pacific Ocean. If 1.00% of the asteroid's kinetic energy goes to boiling the ocean water (assume an initial water temperature of 10.0oC), what mass of water will be boiled away by the collision? (For comparison, the mass of water contained in Lake Superior is about 2 X l015 kg.)
