- The iron meteorite that created Barringer Crater (Arizona) was 50 m in diameter. It caused a crater 1.2 km (1200 m) in diameter, that is, 24 times bigger than the impactor. Keeping in mind that the size of the crater depends on many factors, such as the type of rocks present in the area, estimate the approximate size of the impactor that produced Mare Serenitatis.arrow_forwardWhat is impact parameter?arrow_forwardEarth shows few craters on its surface.

Group of answer choices The size and shape of the crater and the amount of material excavated depends on factors such as the velocity and mass of the impacting body and the geology of the surface. Craters are most often are circular but more elongate craters can be produced with impactors striking the surface at very low angles. The Moon has more craters than the Earth because of its strong tidal force on the impactors. Objects from space typically hit Earth at about 20 km/s ande produce craters that can be approximately 20 times larger in diameter than the impacting objects. The faster the incoming impactor, the larger the crater.arrow_forwardQuestion :2 a)Calculate the mean density of the earth and moon assuming a spherical shape and the radii rErde = 6371 km and rMond = 1734 km. b) Determine the density of a fully water- saturated sandstone (d quartz = 2650 kg / m³) with a porosity of 18%. c) How does the density of the sandstone under b) change when it is dry. d) Calculate the porosity of a dry cylindrical limestone sample (length = 4.1 cm, Diameter = 2.0 cm, d Calcite = 2710 kg / m³) with a mass of 34.9 g. %3Darrow_forward
