1. SO2 from the object.
A group of meteorit containts FeS and Fe2C but only a few percents. This
isn't enough to produce 500 Gt SO2. But this isn't the most important
problem. For 500 Gt SO2 need 250 Gt oxigen that is around 1.2xe6 km3 air.
So many air wasn't between the object and Earth at the time of the collision.
2. The velocity
For the energy balance of the collision isn't the total velocity important
but the vertical component of the velocity is only. This component hang
from the angle of inclination between the orbit of the meteorit and Earth.
I heard about the value of this from a few grad to 40. Nobody knows the
correct value. I counted with 5 km/s vertical velocity. If the vertical
components is so many and the angle is 30 grad then the total velocity 10
km/s, if 20 then 15, if 15 then 20 and if 10 then 30 km/s.
