Estimate the percent change in the angular speed of earth

Reference no: EM13543631

An asteroid of mass 2.3×10^5kg , traveling at a speed of 21km/s relative to the Earth, hits the Earth at the equator tangentially, and in the direction of Earth's rotation. Use angular momentum to estimate the percent change in the angular speed of the Earth as a result of the collision.
