Additional values:
Stoney-iron meteorites have a density of 4.3-5.8 g/cm3;
iron nickel meteorites density is 7-8 g/cm3.
Stone meteorites , have mass density range of 2.2 and 3.8 g/cm3
Assume a stone meteorite with a density of 3g/cm3
5kg will be 14.7 or15 cm in diameter
20kg...
If you are modeling impact craters for 10m and larger diameter meteoroids/asteroids: A factor which cannot be adjusted in your current model is that larger objects/meteoroids/asteroids retain more cosmic velocity/momentum than do smaller ones. Depending on scale you may have to resort to a...
Homework Statement
NOTE: First time user. I am a member of an Ad Hoc fireball analysis group and my physics colleague is on travel. We have investigators in the field and therefore need to expedite an estimate. My background is geology and chemistry and I get "brain freeze" reasoning through...
