Transcribed Image Text:

Meteors are small pieces of matter made mostly of iron. Few meteors hit the surface of the Earth because of the Earth's atmosphere. Assuming all the kinetic energy of the meteor changes to heat energy in the meteor, if a 0.001 kg meteor, travelling at 30000 ms crashes into the Earth's atmosphere resulting in a change in temperature of 20000\deg C, calculate the specific heat capacity of the iron.
