Evolution of the crater diameter depending on the marble energy
The finer the soil texture, the larger the crater.The points have a regular and accurate evolution when the soil is the fine semolina. The
software LibreOffice calculated the equation of the best fit curve:
D = 0.12 E 0.26
D = 0.12 E 0.26

Extrapolation: principle
We are going to make the hypothesis that when an asteroid crashes on Earth, it is like when a marble falls in fine semolina. Therefore, the crater diameter (D in meter) is related to the asteroid energy (E in Joule) by the formula D = 0.12 E 0.26 .
BACK TO THE PROBLEM
=> First, thanks to the data of the table, we are going to calculate the energy E of the asteroid.
=> Then, we are going to use the formula we have established (D = 0.12 E 0.26) to find the crater diameter D.

Conclusion
What we found- we can simulate an impact crater at a small scale using semolina instead
of rocks- we can predict the diameter D of the crater resulting from the impact of an
asteroid releasing the energy E, using the equation D = 0.12 E 0.26
Limitations of the experimental design- measurements are not always reliable => to replicate- the marble is not heavy enough and speeds are too small => to try with a
lead ball on higher falling heights
Limitations of the simulation- we did not take into account the atmosphere!!! (friction, fragmentation...)- we did not consider the fact that a part of the energy of the asteroid is not
used for the cratering process (melting of rocks...)
