• Answer:– How does the energy (height of drop) and
mass of the meteorite effect the crater?– At a ____ drop with the large meteorite, the
diameter of the crater was ____. At a ____ drop with the large meteorite was _____.
• Answer:– How does the energy (height of drop) and
mass of the meteorite effect the crater?– At a ____ drop with the large meteorite, the
diameter of the crater was ____. At a ____ drop with the large meteorite was _____.
– As the energy is increased with speed / height, or with greater mass, the size of the craters diameter, and thus the distance of ejection will increase.
