Craters Investigation
In this experiment I am going to investigate one factor that causes
craters to be different sizes. 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.
Research
--------
On the Moon, craters usually measure up to 200 (320 miles) or more in
diameter. Meteorites hitting the lunar surface at high velocity
produced most of the large craters. Many of the smaller ones - those
measuring less than 1km (0.6 mile) across could have been formed by
explosive volcanic activity.
Many craters have a surrounding ring: this is usually quite low
although a typical one may be about 1500m (4920 feet) above the
surrounding landscape. In many cases, there is a central peak or
several peaks within a crater.
The darker areas of the Moon, known as Maria, have relatively few
craters. They are thought to be huge lava flows that spread over an
area after most of the craters have already been formed.
Apparatus
---------
á 1 Tub of sand
á 1 Ruler
á 1 Metal Ball Bearing (63.7g)
á 1 Metre Ruler
Method
1. Set up the apparatus (as shown in the diagram)
2. Lift the Ball Bearing to a height of 10cm and drop into the tub of
sand.
3. Place the end of the ruler at one edge of the crater and measure to
the other side. This gives the width of the crater.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at 10cm intervals (20cm, 30cm etc) up to
100cm.
5. Repeat 3 times
6. Record in Results Table
Fair Test?

The factors, which would affect the size of a crater, are:
á The mass of the ball bearing because if it was heavier then the
amount of G.P.E it has would increase due to the fact that the

Ingres’ Jupiter and Thetis (1811) and Magritte’s The Liberator (1947) both reflect traditional gender roles. For example, Ingres and Magritte both center their male subject in their painting. Ingres shows how Jupiter has power over the woman. Magritte shows how the traveler is free to be in his own inner world, while the woman is trapped inside an object. The woman in Ingres’ painting has a submissive characteristic about her and clings to Jupiter, and the woman in Magritte’s painting has a passive characteristic about her and classified as an object. Both paintings have a dream like quality about them. The time period and significance in art was very different. Ingres’ Jupiter and Thetis was after the French Revolution, and Magritte painted

A comet is categorized as an icy body that discharges gas or dust. Most comets that are visible from earth seem to travel in long ovals around the sun. Comets consist of a nucleus which is bounded by fuzzy or cloudy atmosphere and it might have a tail or two. The gases in the comet’s coma and tail are bright reflective so that allows us to see comets a lot better when they are closer to the sun. Astronomers also trust that comets release the energy they store from the sun causing them to glow.
If I were using a cut out of length 1cm, the equation for this would
Outer space according to Dictionary.com is defined as "the physical universe outside of the earths atmosphere". Over the entire existence of mankind we have always wondered what is out there. The moon is one object that many people have always fathomed about. The moon is fathomed about in 3 aspects. These aspects include facts including theories the formation of the moon, the great space race, and wether or not the first moon landing was a hoax.
The purpose of this experiment was to make an object buoyant by adding a sufficient amount of extra volume to displace the water necessary.
Because that the space is getting messy. Space trash is a big problem. The amount of debris orbiting keep growing ever single year. disrupting satellites and occasionally putting astronauts in harm’s way. if the problem gets severe enough, it should eventually make low-earth orbit unusable. Since 1970s, some scientists have been worrying about the space debris.
Sixty-Five million years ago, 70 percent of life on Earth died. The most reasonable and possible reason this happened was an asteroid. An asteroid hit the Earth very hard, and in doing this, dirt and dust from the impact stayed in the air and it blocked out sunlight, that’s why the dinosaurs died. An asteroid is a rock from outer space. Asteroids have orbited the Sun along with the planets since the solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago, but it’s only been 200 years since we first discovered them. Meteorites are small pieces of asteroids broken off on impact with other asteroids. Most meteorites are rusty brown on the outside, have rounded edges from melting as they go through Earth’s atmosphere, and contain iron. There are 3 different types of meteorites: stony, metallic, and stony metallic.92 percents of all asteroids are stone, 6 percent are made of iron and nickel, and the rest are a combination. Some meteorites also contain gold, copper, platinum, and carbon.

He would rush home to tell his wife about his findings. Jasmine believes his without a doubt. The couple was dumbfounded at how they were going to solve this problem. Michael and Jasmine would begin scouring the Internet to find out what would be the most effective way to get rid of the meteor. After hours of in depth research, they both would find that the best way to get rid of the meteor would be to blow it up. Now the couple would have to find a way to construct it. After all this they would find that a rocket would be the best way to destroy the meteor. They need to find an organization to help them construct the rocket.

By the third millennium, mankind is actively studying and exploring space. The number of space flights is increasing and they are constantly running into a number of problems. One of these is a question of the increasing contamination of space with objects from our explorations. These objects are better known as space debris or simply said – space junk.
