^There were three trials, all of which gave a result of .0174 meters as the depth. A hint the professor gave was that one thing would be exactly the same between both trials, but I'm not sure what. It seemed like she emphasized the word sand, so I would guess impulse but wouldn't a larger...

Thank you very much for all your help. I can get the three questions above but I'm still having trouble with the meteorite one.

So vi would be 7.34 m/s and v final would be 0 m/s? If so, would it make sense for the acceleration to be more than gravity?
