PHYSICS INVESTIGATION INVESTIGATING IMPACT CRATERS The Aim of this investigation is to determine relationships between the following variables: * The height from which a ball (a simple model of an asteroid or meteor) is dropped and the diameter of its impact crater. * The height from which a ball is dropped and the depth of its impact crater. * The diameter of a ball and its impact crater. * The mass of a ball and the diameter of its impact crater. * The mass of a ball and the depth of its impact crater. * The angle at which the ball impacts and the length of its impact crater. * The angle at which a ball impacts and the depth of its impact crater. * Keeping the angle the same, changing the magnitude of the ball's velocity - and measure the length and depth of impact craters. * Changing the vertical height dropped by the ball, after being released at...
