What would have been the change in jupiters orbital speed

Reference no: EM13658198

During July 1994 the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter in a spectacular fashion. The comet actually consisted of 21 distinct pieces, the largest of which had a mass of approximately 4.0 x 1012 kilogram and a speed of 6.0 x104 m/s. Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kilogram and an orbital speed of 1.3 x 104 m/s. If this piece of the comet had hit Jupiter head-on, determine what would have been the change (magnitude only) in Jupiter's orbital speed (not its final speed)?
