An asteroid, named Toutatis, is in a near Earth orbit. The asteroid is 5.4 km in diameter, more precisely it is 4.6 km x 2.4 km x 1.9 km. The asteroid has a mass of 0.05 x 1015 kg. If the path of the asteroid is assumed circular around the Sun, the radius of the orbit is 2.38 x 10 m and it takes 3.98 years to make one orbit, how much kinetic energy does it carry? If it collided with Earth, where would this energy go? If we could divert the asteroid by exploding a nuclear bomb on its surface that had an energy yield of 0.01% of its kinetic energy, how big would the nuke have to be in Mtons, where 1 Mton = 4.2 x 1015 J?
