Specific heat of liquid and gaseous aluminum


A meteorite of 670 kg happens to be composed of aluminum. If it is far from earth, its temperature is -15 degrees Celsius and it moves with the speed of 14 km/s relative to the earth. As it crashes into the planet, suppose that the resultant additional internal energy is shared uniformly among the meteor and the planet, and that all of the material of the meteor increases momentarily to the similar final temperature. Determine this temperature. Suppose that the specific heat of liquid and gaseous aluminum is around1170 J/kgC.
