An asteroid is moving directly towards the centre of the earth. When at a distance of 4R (R is the radius of the earth) from the earths centre, it has a speed of `2sqrt2` km/s. Neglecting the effect of earths atmosphere, what will be the speed of the asteroid when it hits the surface of the earth (escape velocity from the earth is 11.2 km/s)? Give your answer to the nearest integer in kilometer/s _________.
