11. Using the volume(s) you just calculated for regular vs. heavy duty samples as well as your dimensional measurements (length and width in cm) from Part IV of this experiment, calculate the height, or thickness, of each sample of aluminum using the formula V = l x w x h.  In the formula, V stands for volume, l for length, w for width, and h for height. Once again, you will have to use your algebraic skills to manipulate the formula, to solve for height.  You must show all your work. (15 pts)

1. Fill the graduated cylinder nearly to the top with water, with a tall glass tube open at both ends (the water level with act as the closed end).

o Start with the small marble and drop it from 10cm, do not apply any force to the marble and make sure it lands somewhere in the middle of the tub.

5. Tie one end of the 60-cm string to the mass. Place the mass on a table below

In order to conduct this experiment you will need to know all the major steps. First, you will grab the depression slide and use your eyedropper to collect a single Daphnia and place it in the indentation of the depression slide. Make sure to remove excess water with the corner of your small paper towel. No coverslip will be necessary.

3. Flour your countertop well with the remaining ¼ cup flour and coat your hands, too. 4. Shape the dough into a cylinder and cut into 4 pieces. 5.

First, we added water to the graduated cylinder to 20 mL. Then, placed the unknown substance in the water, the water increased and measured 25 mL. The volume was determined by subtracting 20 mL from 25 mL. The volume equaled 5 mL for the unknown substance. Next, we filled the water to 20 mL in the graduated cylinder. Then, placed aluminum in the water, the water increased and measured 25 mL. The volume was determined by subtracting 20 mL from 25 mL. The volume equaled 5 mL for aluminum. After that, we added water to the graduated cylinder to 20 mL. Then, placed the zinc in the water, the water increased and measured 22.5 mL. The volume was determined by subtracting 20 mL from 22.5 mL. The volume equaled 2.5 mL for zinc. Last, we added water to the graduated cylinder to 20 mL. Then, placed lead in the water, the water increased and measured 24 mL. The volume was determined by subtracting 20 mL from 24 mL. The volume equaled 4 mL for

A typical crater is formed by asteroids or comets hitting the earth. But Impact Craters are formed by powerful volcanic eruptions. This is formed when a volcano collapses in onto its empty magma chamber and forms a caldera, or volcanic crater. The best example of a impact crater is Lake Toba in Sumatra. Lake Toba was known as the largest volcanic structure on earth. Once the volcanic structure collapsed it eventually filled with water and earned its name Lake Toba.

However, this happened around 50,000 years ago, resulting in a crater 1 mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 700 feet deep. The impact of the meteor had energy of more than 20-million tons of TNT, and shook the southwestern plain for miles. The meteor left little evidence of its origin behind, it vaporized on impact with the earth. Moreover, erosion has done little to change the original crater.

When meteorites strike the exterior of a planet, impact craters are formed. Research was done investigating factors that could influence the formation of impact craters by dropping round rubber pellets into a tray of sand or launching them from a catapult into the sand. Results are shown in the table below.

not fully understood. Scientists still debate whether it was a comet or asteroid, if similar

Asteroids are bodies of rocks that range in sizes from dust particles to large chunks of rocks or perhaps minor planets that orbit around the inner solar system. Yes, the big chunk of rocks can actually be classified as minor planets, which are also known as planetoids. These leftover pieces of rock were derived from the formation of our solar system. Most of these asteroids are found in the asteroid belt---a ring-shaped orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids don't just float around in space but are known to move at very high speed. And this speed, despite the size of an asteroid, is the reason why an impact with another planet could be catastrophic. Just ask the dinosaurs. And this disastrous consequences of an asteroid, impacting the

In this lab the researchers were testing how different massed “meteorites” dropped at the same distance affect the depth of an impact crater. The researchers predicted that if the mass of the object in the egg increases than the depth of the impact crater will also increase because gravity will pull down harder on the heavier object than it will the lighter object. The hypothesis was supported because the greater the mass of an object than the deeper the impact crater will be because the greater the mass the more gravity pulls on that object downward.
