This minor problem could be a major problem for my results. Optional: ask students to measure the
heights they are dropping from and to measure the diameter of the crater from rim to rim in each
case. (Note that this data is messy and there is not a huge amount of difference between high and
low drop heights, but it demonstrates graphing data, and how to draw lines of best fit. Our customer

ground all of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. There were a few which were not
accurate and this was probably due to the ball being dropped with force or at an angle. Also with
more averages, it would make it far more accurate, thus giving me a more reliable conclusion and
graphs. In this series installment, NASA scientists and other sky watchers consider the possibility of
an asteroid's. The advantages were that I did not have to worry about the density of the sand. I am
going to do this by dropping a ball bearing with a mass of 63.7g, from varying heights into a tub of
sand and then measuring the width of the crater it made. A lot more reasonable than holding the ruler
upright with my hand. These will be the smallest height I intend to drop the ball bearing from and
the greatest height I intend to drop it from. Central peaks - A mountain formed in the central area of
the floor of a large crater. For. Given that doing the experiments will be the time consuming bit, once
you have the data I would try any equation you find. This was based on the scientific knowledge
that as the Marble is dropped at a higher point it gains more Gravitational Potential Energy, therefore
there is a bigger force which in turn will make the size of the crater bigger. Please include what you

However the size of the marble will have to stay the same as it will affect the size of the crater. This
result is what got me confused about the crater collapse factor in the first place. They are not major
outliers and therefore I have chosen to plot them on my graph. Aronson, Billy. Meteors: The Truth
Behind Shooting Stars (First Book). Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel
It's good to leave some feedback. Based on that, I used the equation to find the crater collapse
factor. Overall in this experiment there is a minimal chance of being injured. This meter stand is
metal and tall enough to hold a meter ruler; it also has a claw extended from its body to hold the
ruler. I have also found that 100cm is not too high to be accurate with where the ball will land and it
does not splash too much sand out of the tray. Simple crater formations tend to be bowl-shaped,
complex crater formations are much larger. In my prediction I stated that the higher up the Marble
greater the size of the crater. They will need to do this when there are several craters in their tray, and
it gets hard to see the patterns. As the sand is pushed down it has nowhere else to go but out, this
means the diameter of the crater increases.
I used data on the graph (the steepest and least steep). On the back of this chart draw the craters you
made on your simulated planetary. Reports on the potential danger of meteorites and how we can
learn about the origins of our solar system. What happened to the craters as you dropped the balls
from a higher distance? These can be divided into two main types: simple and complex. For example
you could take a wider range of readings or repeat the experiment a few more times in order to be
more accurate. An Investigation to find out how Dropping Height affects size of a Crater c. Pit
Crater - An impact crater containing a central depression rather than a central peak. Each
measurement was done in millimetres, which made it very accurate, and for some I have chosen to
include at least 1 d.p. I was then able to make clear and reliable justifiable judgements. Investigate
how mass affects the diameter of an impact crater. Comets and asteroids strike the Moon at a wide
range of impact speeds, with 20. I dropped the ball using the same technique each time, making sure
minimal force was subjected to the ball. Vol. 1, Menace from the Sky; Vol. 2, Witnesses from
Beyond the Times. I have predicted this because the higher the object is dropped from the more
gravitational potential energy the object will gather, therefore increasing the speed of the ball,
concluding the ball will have more of an impact on the surface as the gravitational energy is
transferred as kinetic energy to the sand. Once again I have decided to join up all the data with a
dark blue colour, making it clear to me how positive and strong this correlation is. As you increase the
height of the marble being dropped from, the diameter of the crater increases too. Making statements
based on opinion; back them up with references or personal experience. Both were used to measure
the depth of the crater. The higher I drop the marble the more gravitational force and the more
kinetic energy, therefore increasing the diameter of the crater. The higher you drop the marble the
bigger the diameter and the bigger the volume, and vice versa. This could be due to the fact that I
did not measure the size of the crater carefully enough or I did not pay enough attention when
dropping the marble from different heights. We can see this because on the graph, as the height goes
up so does the width of the crater. Each mass was dropped 5 times and an average taken for the
crater diameter and depth (to the nearest millimetre). The kinetic energy of the object is converted
into kinetic energy of the ground material. This supports what I predicted using the knowledge I
already had. The aim of this investigation is to investigate the effect of adding varyin. To find out
how the height from which a marble is dropped affects the diame. This is the perfect scale and size
for me because I need it to go up to at least 60 cm and am planning to use increments of 5 cm. A
solution for this is to place a big enough tray to hold the stand this way the marble will fall into the
tray rather than the table or the floor also the sand will fall into the tray which is easy to collect after.

This lead to the diameter of the craters being changed greatly from the expected values. An
Investigation to find out how Dropping Height affects size of a Crater c. And by using a formula
results according to the accuracy of the diameters would be more reliable. At 100 cm the craters
formed by the ball are the deepest. The angle of impact must be the only factor affecting the depth
of a crater. I would have expected the craters to get shorter as the vertical drop height increased (due
the vertical component increasing), which has happened very loosely. This is because at a higher
point there is more gravitational potential energy. The force you exert on pulling back a rubber band,
which will in turn catap. Aronson, Billy. Meteors: The Truth Behind Shooting Stars (First Book).
However I cannot be 100% sure that it was flat, and this is why it was the most inaccurate and
unreliable part of the experiment. Meteor Crater is one of the youngest and best-preserved impact
craters on Earth. I used data on the graph (the steepest and least steep). I also chose to do this
because if I found a way of carrying out the experiment using a better technique to gather more
reliable results, I also did a preliminary test in order to choose suitable heights for the experiment and
to decide to what degree I will be measuring the diameter with e.g. 2 D.P. The ball was let using
hand which might delicately push it. Ejecta - Material thrown out of the crater area during an impact
event, or a blanket of. MathJax reference. To learn more, see our tips on writing great answers. That
might be more fun and closer approximation of meteors than than dropping balls. (Might want to
bring your safety goggles), and maybe check with local laws on that kind of action too. I had to
balance it on a ruler, which was horizontal to its axis, on the point of which I was measuring it from.
The heavily cratered history of the Moon indicates that Earth also experienced. Write a review

your experiments will be far from typical of real impacts. Most researchers now believe that a large
asteroid or comet hit the Earth at the. This could be improved by having a platform which is
attached to the ruler and can also be moved to any level of the ruler to roll the ball off since the
effect of gravity will not have any difference being rolled. Moon lacks water, an atmosphere, and
plate tectonics, three forces that act to erode the. Found in craters a few tens of kilometers across on.
I suggest to use transparent tank with sand and to check from each side whether the sand has even
surface. I very carefully removed the ball from the crater every time, without affecting the size of the
diameter. For example you could take a wider range of readings or repeat the experiment a few more
times in order to be more accurate. This is a computer generated gravity map image of the Chicxulub
crater. The. I have chosen to vary the height of the marble being dropper from.
On the Earth impact craters are harder to recognize. My graph shows a positive correlation with no
anomalous results. Pit Crater - An impact crater containing a central depression rather than a central
peak. This is very difficult and needs to be done with great care. I believe I gained enough results in
order to make an accurate conclusion on my hypothesis. The only disadvantage is that by using this
formula, the crater has to be a perfect semi-sphere, however by eye the crater was obviously not a
perfect semi-sphere. My prediction was right and my gravity theory was also right according to my
results although my first couple of results showed quite a big gap at the start and then turned to a
positive correlation. Both were used to measure the depth of the crater. However this is why I took
many readings of every diameter, which would lower the amount of outliers and giving me more
reliable results to work with. However if you were to drop the marble from a high distance, the
gravitational potential energy is much higher, as it has more time to build up this energy, which gives
you a bigger crater and more kinetic energy. This could be improved by having a platform which is
attached to the ruler and can also be moved to any level of the ruler to roll the ball off since the
effect of gravity will not have any difference being rolled. I could then be sure that the marble was
dropped from the right distance. If all goes according to plan then the higher i drop the marble the
bigger the effect of gravity and kinetic energy therefore causing a bigger crater. This could be due to
the fact that I did not measure the size of the crater carefully enough or I did not pay enough
attention when dropping the marble from different heights. By this I can decide not to use these
outliers for my averages and my graphs, but as they are not that major and wouldn’t make much a
difference to the trend that is being spotted. I have considered this and decided that I would use the
formula anyway. If I were to repeat the experiment I could possibly use a different piece of
equipment just so I can see if it would make a difference to my results. From this table of results, it
is quite simple to spot a trend. Degraded Craters - Craters that have become eroded due to
weathering, lava flows. The aim of this investigation is to investigate the effect of adding varyin. I
have predicted this because the higher the object is dropped from the more gravitational potential
energy the. In order to improve my reliability of the results I. The curriculum link is: practicals skills,
Energy transfers, Newtons laws. So if my graph were a straight line it would be a very big crater.
The higher the drop height, the greater the velocity of the. Branley, Franklyn M. What Happened to
the Dinosaurs? (Let's-Read-And-Find-Out. Any sort of precautions has to be kept the same
otherwise it could disturb any pattern on my results and therefore giving me a false interpretation on
the experiment. I think it would be worth making a contraption for realises the ball to ensure no
pressure is inflicted on the ball when dropped. This resource hasn't been reviewed yet To ensure

This is why I chose to repeat each reading 6 times to make sure of any changes. In many cases, there
is a central peak or several peaks within a crater. Simple crater formations tend to be bowl-shaped,
complex crater formations are much larger. Walls - The interior sides of a crater, usually steep. Floor -
The bottom of a crater, either bowl shaped or flat, usually below ground level. The output variable
(what I will measure) will be the size of the crater produced. Often the walls of the craters will
collapse to from landslides. Both were used to measure the depth of the crater. The ejecta patterns
created by the colored paint or sand are dramatic. Binoculars on a tripod provide a spectacular view
of lunar craters. I very carefully removed the ball from the crater every time, without affecting the
size of the diameter. I dropped the ball using the same technique each time, making sure minimal
force was subjected to the ball. This means the higher the position of the ball, the deeper crater
formed. They will need to do this when there are several craters in their tray, and it gets hard to see
the patterns. I will use a compass to measure from one side of the crater to the other; this would
allow me to get an accurate reading when I put the compass against the standard ruler. What
happened when you changed the angle of impact? For instance when I any movement of the tin of
sand could disturb the created crater and therefore changing the diameter of the crater. Meteor Crater
is one of the youngest and best-preserved impact craters on Earth. A solution for this is to place a big
enough tray to hold the stand this way the marble will fall into the tray rather than the table or the
floor also the sand will fall into the tray which is easy to collect after. There are several actions that
could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or
malformed data. I used data on the graph (the steepest and least steep). I will only change the height
of which I will be dropping the marble, for example dropping the marble at multiples of ten. The air
resistance involved in this experiment does not affect the marble as much as the gravity involved but
can still limit the amount of speed the marble can gain which puts a limit on the height of which the
marble can be dropped from in order to achieve accurate results. However when dropping the marble
I did not measure the volume manually. Degraded Craters - Craters that have become eroded due to
weathering, lava flows. The higher you drop the marble the bigger the diameter of the crater will be.
My data can be more reliable because I can adjust the height a lot, while many of the other variables
would either be difficult to vary or would produce categorical data. I have chosen to vary the height
of the marble being dropper from. What happened to the craters as you dropped the balls from a
higher distance? They are thought to be huge lava flows that spread over an area after most of the
craters have already been formed.
I have also joined all the data with a dark blue, again indicating the strong correlation. The force you
exert on pulling back a rubber band, which will in turn catap. The ball was rolled 3 times and an
average of crater length and depth taken. Always use eye protection (safety glasses). Students. I will
use a compass to measure from one side of the crater to the other; this would allow me to get an
accurate reading when I put the compass against the standard ruler. Pit Crater - An impact crater
containing a central depression rather than a central peak. Experiment To Investigate What Affects
the Size of a Crater. Because of the low velocity of the marbles compared with the velocity of real
impactors. Each measurement was done in millimetres, which made it very accurate, and for some I
have chosen to include at least 1 d.p. I was then able to make clear and reliable justifiable

right resource. The large depth for the drop from 50cm suggests that the sand might have been less
compact than usual, as this would have meant that the ball penetrated deeper than usual, with the
grains being further apart. Using a variety of different size and weight balls, marbles, etc. A solution
for this is to place a big enough tray to hold the stand this way the marble will fall into the tray rather
than the table or the floor also the sand will fall into the tray which is easy to collect after. It needed
to be able to alter its mass, but keep its diameter the same. The only way to know for sure is to plot a
graph of log length against Angle for those last five points. This photograph shows King Crater on
the Moon's farside and was taken by the. Reports on the potential danger of meteorites and how we
can learn about the origins of our solar system. However I cannot be 100% sure that it was flat, and
this is why it was the most inaccurate and unreliable part of the experiment. If the graph were
continued for greater heights, I expect it would begin to level off as the drag on the ball would cause
it to decelerate. These rocks have been uplifted and in some cases overturned at the crater's raised.
However the crater was only 95mm, which is only 10mm bigger than my result from dropping the
ball bearing from 1 metre. I chose two extreme values (minimal and maximal) to be not included in
further calculations. To find out how the height from which a marble is dropped affects the diame.
The vertical height above the landing tray was kept constant so the GPE of the ball ( mgh ) remained
the same. This lead to the diameter of the craters being changed greatly from the expected values.
Crater diameter has its anomalous result at the very lowest drop height. On the back of this chart
draw the craters you made on your simulated planetary. To reduce the uncertainty I suggest to use
the same equipment during the whole experiment; therefore there would be no disparity between the
measuring scales. I also chose to do this because if I found a way of carrying out the experiment
using a better technique to gather more reliable results, I also did a preliminary test in order to choose
suitable heights for the experiment and to decide to what degree I will be measuring the diameter
with e.g. 2 D.P. The depth once again has not been affected by the velocity of the ball, so this is
encouraging.
