How does the drop height of the marble affect the size of the crater in sand?

Conclusion: The results of this lab were found through seemingly simple equations, basing all of your work off of data such as time and distance can become frustrating due to human inaccuracy, but the results show the height and initial velocity of the marble. The results are all reasonable compared with the beginning values that we collected during the lab, and even without calculations fit into the equation. The concept of projectile motion was the basis of this lab, focusing on using kinematic variables and equations to find the

The first factor that must be considered is the viscosity of the magma. This can determine how powerful an eruption is and what shape the volcano

One physical factor which causes differences in a volcanic hazard is the steepness of the volcano. If the volcanoes sides are of a steep gradient then the

Christopher and Kate noticed that after a rainstorm some of the rocks in their yard appear to shrink. They wondered how the mass of the rocks changed when dissolved in water. To

This concept is displayed in the inquiry as I will be reviewing the change within the stalactites formation and what the effect is when rainfall is involved.

With volume and mass determined, the density formula (d = m/V) was used to determine the densities of each rock and recorded in g/ml.

If the size of the marble was bigger, the shape would appear to be smaller and if the size of the marbles were smaller, the shape would appear to be bigger. This is because as the size of the marbles changes, so does the angles that they make, when they bounce off of the shape. This angle size depends on the speed and size of the marbles and when one of those variables are changed, it can make it difficult to determine the position and shape of the

The volcano under Yellowstone National Park is one of the biggest volcanoes in the world. In 2 million years the volcano had make 3 eruptions. There is a probability that the volcano erupts 1 time in a 730,000 chance. There is a chance that a smaller eruption can happen. The lava the volcano throws can destroy everything on the way but it goes very slow. The ash cloud the lava throws can get to huge distances and in his way it can do destroying things like; disrupting transportation systems, kill crops, contaminate water supplies, and many other things.

Conclusion: The purpose of this lab was to see if surface area affects the rate of weathering. The data tells us that the surface area does, in fact, affect the rate of weathering. The more surface area (the crushed tablet), reduces the rate of weathering. In my hypothesis, I believed that the smaller the individual rocks, the faster the weathering rate would be. At the end of this experiment, I have learned that the more surface area means that the faster a rock will

The Clearwater Craters are two craters located right next to each other in Quebec, Canada. The eastern crater is 26 km in diameter, while the western crater has a diameter of 36 km. These craters were originally believed to be created by the same impact. However, in recent research, it has been argued that perhaps these craters were formed at different times.

This shows that the meteorite keeps getting smaller somehow and it is super hot. Also the meteorite had struck “[s]ix times within an hour the farmer saw the lightning strike the furrow in the front yard and when the storm was over nothing remained but a ragged pit by the ancient well-sweep, half chocked with a caved in earth” (Lovercraft, 1927, p. 5). This shows that the rock must have some kind of metal in it to attract that much lightning. Ammi had explained how “[a]ll around the dwindling brown lump near the well was a vacant space, except where the earth had caved in, and whereas it had been a good seven feet across the day before; it was now scarcely five” (Lovecraft, 1927, p. 4). This shows that there is something going on that is not right because that hole should not be shrinking.

Hypothesis: No the size of the crater and ejecta will change because it will have lighter and harder impacts on the surface.

The content of this report is from the curiosity sparked by the experiment at Gravity Discovery Center. Dropping water balloon from the leaning tower, whereby the water balloons create craters as they crashed into the sand pit below. This experiment peaked the curious question “if a water balloon could have such an impact what was the damage done by the asteroids that ended the dinosaurs”.

The Giant Impact theory is one of the most best described theory of the formation of the moon. The theory is very accurate and is best fit for how the moon was formed. The Giant impact theory is the theory that is more logically correct because of a few reasons; one is the theory has more scientific evidence collected for it than other theories, this theory is more logical in science and mathematics, and this theory is more in detail on the forming of the moon. The Giant Impact theory should be the number one theory for the formation of the moon in science.

The surface area of one of the stones used in a Trilithon Horseshoe is 222.87m^2. I found the surface area using the formula, PH+2B. The volume of the same stone is 8.075m^3. This was found using the formula, BH. These formulas were used to calculate the surface area and the volume because the shape of the stone I chose is a
