mMG/R
where R = moon radius
G = universal constant of gravity
M = Moon's mass
m = 1005 kg
You will need to look up G, M and R and do the calculation.
The number you get will probably be small compared to the kinetic energy of the meteor before entering the moon's gravitational field.
How much work is done by the Moon's gravitational field as a 1005 kg meteor comes in from outer space and impacts on the Moon's surface?
