> The space rock exploded with 10 times the energy released by the Hiroshima atomic bomb Well, that's fun.

  Kinetic energy is a hell of a thing. That squared term really adds up quick
  • sidcool 8y ago
    Yeah. It's O(n^2). Should optimize.

    Can you elaborate plz?

      The energy of an object is (1/2)mv^2. Doubling velocity quadruples the kinetic energy.
    • knicholes 8y ago
      Kinetic energy is 1/2mv^2

  How many Library of Congresses is that?

  10x Hiroshima is still solidly sub-megaton. We dropped a lot of megaton bombs on the middle of nowhere before atmospheric testing was banned.
