Mavrix Crater Ball, High Density PU Bouncy ball

When you hear the word geography, you might think of maps and names of state capitals, but the work of geographers is much more than creating maps and identifying places. Geographers look at how people, places, and Earth are connected. They study the economy, social conditions, climate, and topography of a region to help answer questions in urban and regional planning, business, agriculture, and medicine.

This was the next idea for impact material, but once again the salt did not have enough integrity to hold its shape when a ball was removed. Sprinkle the surface of the flour with a thin layer of cocoa powder. Make sure it is evenly spread.You know your children better than anyone, and you should judge whether they’re ready for this activity. You might want to think in particular about: Cambridge | Massachusetts Institute of Technology Assistant Professor, Experimental Condensed Matter Physics Harvey, Samantha, et al. (2013, July 2). Meteors & Meteorites: Overview. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Retrieved July 11, 2013. The factors affecting the appearance of impact craters and ejecta are the size and velocity of the impactor, and the geology of the target surface.

Volcanic activity often creates craters. Some volcaniccraters are deep and have steep sides. Others are wide and shallow.The angle at which a ball enters the sand is exponentially linked with the length of the crater produced (for angles above 25 deg.). Floor: bowl shaped or flat, characteristically below surrounding ground level unless filled in with lava. The semi-log graph certainly shows a straight line, so the relationship between drop angles greater than 25 degrees and the crater length is exponential. However this still leaves the question of those early angles, why aren’t they following any kind of trend? After carrying out this activity, students will understand the effect the mass, velocity and angle of an impacting object has on the resulting crater, in terms of diameter, depth and ejecta rays, and relate this information to the craters on the surfaces of Earth and the Moon. Goals In this astronomy science project, you will use different sized, nearly spherical objects, like the ones shown here, to act as your "meteorites." How will the size of the meteorite affect what kind of crater it makes?

I would challenge any club golfer to go to their local course and try to hit a six-iron, one-handed, with a one-quarter swing out of an unraked bunker.
