An asteroid is moving directly towards the centre of the earth. When at a distance of \(10 \mathrm{R}\) (\(R\) is the radius of the earth) from the earths centre, it has a speed of \(12 \;\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}\). Neglecting the effect of earths atmosphere, what will be the speed of the asteroid when it hits the surface of the earth (escape velocity from the earth is \(11.2 \;\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}\) ) \(?\) Give your answer to the nearest integer in \(km/s\)
- A \(20\)
- B \(24\)
