User:GiverOfThePeace/Roshi Busts The Moon
Introduction
So Roshi destroyed the moon in Dragon Ball and we have context to what the moon in Dragon Ball is thanks to Dr. Slump. The moon was actually the asteroid that was gonna kill the dinosaurs, this is why dinosaurs exist in Dragon Ball, since Arale stopped it from hitting the planet. So the moon isn't even an actual moon, it's an asteroid. This also explains why it breaks many pieces of physics.
Calculation
So for material, apparently it's been found out that the Chicxulub was made of iron, which has a fracture toughness of 67.5 j/cc.
Chicxulub was believed to have a mass ranging from 1.0e15 kg to 4.6e17 kg (Full report here)
Chicxulub is believed to have a density of 2630 kg/m^3.
This would make the volume range from, which is V = M/D
Time for a low end and high end.
Low End
V = (1.0e15kg)/(2630 kg/m^3)
V = 3.802281368821292776e11 m^3 or 3.8022813688212928e17 cc
((Total Volume(V¹) * (Percentage reduction(V²)) * Fracture Toughness(F))
((3.8022813688212928e17 cc)*(70%) * (67.5 j/cc)) = 1.79658675e19 Joules, Island level
High End
V = (4.6e17kg)/(2630 kg/m^3)
V = 1.749049429657794677e14 m^3 or 1.74904942965779464e20 cc
((1.74904942965779464e20 cc)*(70%) * (67.5 j/cc)) = 8.2642585551330797e21 Joules, Country level
GBE End
I'll be accounting for the GBE of the blast.
Chicxulub was believed to have a mass ranging from 1.0e15 kg to 4.6e17 kg (Full report here)
It's diamter ranged from 10.6 km to 80.9 km, or for radius that would be 5.3 km to 40.45 km.
Low End
Using the official GBE calculator and plugging in the numbers, I get 7.555471698113207e18 Joules. Island level
High End
Using the official GBE calculator and plugging in the numbers, I get 2.094761532756489e+23 Joules. Country level
