How much work would have to be done on the asteroid

Reference no: EM13549507

Suppose the asteroid starts from rest at a great distance (effectively infinity), falling toward Earth. How much work would have to be done on the asteroid by friction to slow it to 600 m/s by the time it reached a distance of 3.00 108 m from Earth?
