16. Angular Momentum / Intro to Angular Collisions / Problem 5

Imagine a celestial object with a mass of 5.4 x 10¹⁰ kg collides with Earth at the equator, travels at a velocity of 2.4 x 10⁴ m/s, and then becomes embedded in the planet. Determine the factor by which the Earth's normal rotational frequency of one revolution per day will be affected.
