Re-Calculation of Tom's Asteroid feat.

If you all remember a calculation that was made by a retired Calculating Group member name Amelia Lonelyheart

Link to the calculation: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/U...heart/Tom_and_Jerry:_Tom_destroys_an_asteroid

Although, as I re-watch the episode Cat-tastrophe of Tom and Jerry, I could confidently say that the calculation of Amelia's post is wrong.

rewatch the video: here

Scroll it to the part of 1:39


The episode clearly shows us that should the meteor (despite its size on the calculation) collides with Earth in the simulation, it could potentially shatter a large fragment of the planet Earth itself, another evidence is if you searched and watch on the official Youtube channel of Boomerang, there is an episode where the people titled it "Tom saves the Earth", which with the following evidence being provided up there, its safe to say that the feat of him destroying the asteroid isn't actually City-Level+, considering how the asteroid is able to shatter a large piece of the Earth at the same time moving it away from its position, so what level should Tom be classified after this?

And correct me if I'm wrong with the feat, unless if Amelia was actually calculating the size of the meteor.

Amelia was calculating the kinetic energy of the meteor via its size, not what was shown in the simulation. The simulation itself is also very iffy since it depicts the meteor as being as big as (if not bigger) than Earth, which we know isn't true based on when the meteor actually enters Earth.

Well... The 1st KE of the asteroid hitting the Earth seems too small, and considering human terminal dropping velocity with air resistance can be higher, this end seems weird.

2nd KE method (city+) seems fine on paper.

Also, we need to be reminded that cartoons like this can portray speed very very inconsistently.

Most conservative method is deduce the mass of the asteroid, then slap the typical velocity of asteroids hitting Earth.

I see, but still, that episode of Tom and Jerry showed us that despite the size of the meteor, it could've wrecked a large fragment of the Earth, if it's not true, then why was it put there in the first place then?

Agree with this. Atmospheric entry speed is 11200 m/s, so that should be used

But that fragment ... Is still an animation in the simulation of an animation right?

Yeah, but again, there's a possibility that the simulation is sort of like a calculation from the computer that shows us what would happen if the meteor impacted Earth (despite its size being smaller when entering the atmosphere.), yet, the computer that calculated the result of the impact is from an enlarge governmental science research center.

The simulation couldn't be made out of random (or for fun) as a way only to make Tom and Jerry gain motivation to save Earth, right?
