Question Use the Impact simulator website: http://down2earth.eu/impact_ calculator/ Use the following parameters: Trajectory Angle = 45 degrees Projectile Velocity= 30 km/s Projectile Density= Dense Rock Target Density= Sedimentary Rock Choose a Distance from the crash site of 500 km. Now vary the Projectile diameter. What is the minimum size (approximately) for which you will observe some ejecta from the impact falling at your location? (Hint: Ejecta Thickness is one of the outputs of the model, listed on the Crater Size page. A zero value for the thickness means that no ejecta is falling) 25 m 500 m 2,500 m 10,000 m
Question
Use the Impact simulator website: http://down2earth.eu/impact_ calculator/Use the following
parameters:
Trajectory Angle = 45 degrees
Projectile Velocity= 30 km/s
Projectile Density= Dense Rock
Target Density= Sedimentary Rock
Choose a Distance from the crash site of 500 km. Now vary the Projectile diameter. What is the minimum size (approximately) for which you will observe some ejecta from the impact falling at your location?
(Hint: Ejecta Thickness is one of the outputs of the model, listed on the Crater Size page. A zero value for the thickness means that no ejecta is falling)
