P3 4 Tipler and Mosca Killed the Dinosaurs

Abstract

This paper explores a hypothetical scenario to evaluate the number of copies of Physics for Scientists and Engineers 6th (sixth) Edition by Tipler, P. A. and Mosca, G. required to generate an impact equivalent to the asteroid event that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. Our findings estimate that approximately 3.26×1013 copies are required to match the asteroid’s impact.
