Whoops, I carried down the wrong number to the gasoline conversion.. I left off the 1875 The whole impact is like 40000 gallons of gasoline per cm^2 of surface

Whoops, I carried down the wrong number to the gasoline conversion.. I left off the 1875
The whole impact is like 40000 gallons of gasoline per cm^2 of surface, or I think like 2kt TNT.
So then, not sure what the kinetics/kinematics is there.
How much is released by the atmosphere impact vs then the surface stopping the asteroid.
- pmayrgundter 3y agoOk! ChatG4 is amazing! https://chat.openai.com/share/25e4cef6-321a-43f7-8d13-40d1fd1a81bc https://chat.openai.com/share/25e4cef6-321a-43f7-8d13-40d1fd... Summary: my initial math checks out for the total KE of the asteroid, and then we used that to look at the surface heating by the compressed atmosphere and then the Fourier heat analysis of conduction into the asteroid surface Answer: Tho the atmosphere would be heated to 100k degrees and that's 1000x more than needed for vaporization of e.g. granite, the duration of ~1s means that only a few millimeters of surface would be vaporized by the time of impact.
- serf 3y agodoes it give the same answer repeatedly? every time i've tried to solve problems like that with chatgpt i've been given beautifully worded garbage that doesn't commpute by hand, and won't be repeated if I retry the prompt.
- pmayrgundter 3y agoThat's my experience with ChatGPT 3.5. But with 4.. well, as far as I'm concerned, this is AGI. I just did a compacted single-shot request in a new session and got the same answer! It basically elided the simplifying analysis, went directly for the heat diffusion equation and based its conclusion on that. Impressive. https://chat.openai.com/share/0c857ebd-779a-4f40-93a9-c35cd27b9951 https://chat.openai.com/share/0c857ebd-779a-4f40-93a9-c35cd2...
