Impact Energy
IMPACT CONSEQUENCE
The Velocity Square Law
A typical asteroid hits at 17 to 25 km/s. At these speeds, even a 100-meter rock can level an entire city.
Megatons of TNT equivalent.
Based on iron composition.

KINETIC ENERGY
Impact energy . Since velocity is squared, doubling the speed quadruples the destruction.
JPL SENTRY SYSTEMATMOSPHERIC SHIELD
Small asteroids (< 25m) often explode high in the air (airbursts), dissipating their energy before reaching the ground.
PLANETARY DEFENSECRATER DYNAMICS
An impactor typically creates a crater 10â20 times its own diameter, vaporizing the rock and sending debris into the stratosphere.
