In 1908 there was a huge explosion referred to as the Tunguska event which occurred in Siberia.Apparently this was caused by a very large meteorite,a small asteroid,or a comet colliding with the Earth.If the energy released,estimated at 5 × 1016 J,were from the kinetic energy of the object,what would have been its approximate mass if its speed had been 104 m/s?
