LCP 11: The Physics of Earth/Asteroid/Comet Collisions This LCP is based on the article Metz, D. Stinner, A. (2002), see IL 1. IL1 **** Deep Impact: The Physics of Asteroid Collisions. The Physics Teacher. Vol. 40, November 2002, 487-492. http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~stinner/stinner/pdfs/2002-deepimpact.pdf The second part is based on an unpublished book “Earth/ Asteroid Collision” I wrote for the Canadian Space Agency. Fig.1 An asteroid approaching the earth at about 15 km/s (relative to the Earth).

Fig. 2: This representation of asteroids includes most of the asteroids larger than about 200 km in diameter. They are shown in their correct relative sizes and shapes (the limb of Mars is shown for comparison). The bodies are positioned at their correct relative distances from the Sun. Asteroids located near the top or bottom of the diagram occupy relatively eccentric or inclined orbits (or both), while those shown near the ecliptic plane move in relatively circular, non-inclined orbits.

It is termed the main belt when co
