    Answer:

    v = 200.005 m / s

    Explanation:

    For this exercise we can use the concept of energy conservation,

    Starting point. When the asteroid at h = 1000 km = 1 10⁶ m

                   Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² – G m M / (R + h)

    Final point. When the asteroid is on the surface of the moon

                  Emf = K + U = ½ m v² – G m M / R

    As there is no friction the energy is conserved

                 Em₀ = Emf

                 ½ m v₀² – G m M / (R + h) = ½ m v² – G m M / R

                ½ m (v₀² –v²) = G m M (-1 / R + 1 / R + h)

                ½ (v₀² – v²) = G M (-h / R (R + h))

                v² = v₀² + 2 G M h / R (R + h))

    Let’s calculate

               v² = 200² + 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹  7.36 10²² / 1.74 (1.74  + 1 ))10¹²

               v2 = 40000 + 2,059

               v = 200.005 m / s
