On a nice summer day a backyard pool 60 000 L is a cool 24°C. Upon re-entry into the atmosphere the 11 000kg (mostly aluminum) Hubble Telescope is heated up to a temperature of 35 °C. If the telescope landed in your pool, how fast would the Hubble Telescope have to be travelling in order to completely vaporize the pool water? Assume all the Telescopes kinetic energy is transferred into heat as it strikes the water. (calum = 900 J/kg•K)
