Calculate the mass of the meteor

Reference no: EM13336750

Large meteors can impact the earth with speeds of 80,000 km/h. If such a meteor were to impact at a point on the plane of Earth's equator, resulting in a change of Earth's angular momentum by 80 × 1012 kg - m2/s (an insignificant change, thankfully), calculate the mass of the meteor. (The radius of Earth = 6.38 × 106 m.)
