Scientists estimate that a certain meteorite had a mass of about 1.4 10^8 kg (around 150,000 tons) and was traveling at nearly 12 km/s when it struck the earth. About how long would it take a standard coal fired power plant which generates about 1 billion joules per second to generate the same amount of kinetic energy as the meteorite when it hit the ground?
