Good question. The Arizona impact location is very, very, unique. The crater was the Bigger than Cuba when it first struck. Due to sedimentary drop off its size is slowly decaying. It is currently about the size of 2-3 Carnival cruise ships.

Answer:

The meteor crater in Arizona is still visible  due to the sedimentary nature of the materials present, mainly limestone, and the total absence of lava in the zone.

Most of the craters created by other meteorites that have collided with the earth are not visible at present because they were smaller and also impacted in areas where the soil materials were more compact and firm.

Explanation:

It is estimated that the impact produced by the crater 50,000 years ago, and was caused by an nickel-iron meteorite about 50 m long traveling at an approximate speed of 12 km/sec.  The impact created a temperature so extraordinarily high that it vaporized or melted all the rocks in the surrounding crust.

If 8.65 g of a tin - fluorine compound contains 5.28 g of tin, what is its empirical formula?
allsm [11]
First, we need to know the amounts of the elements in the compound.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g
Fluorine (F) = 8.65 - 5.28 = 3.37 g

Convert these to units of moles by dividing the molar masses.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g / 118.71 g/mol = 0.044 mol
Fluorine (F) = 3.37 g / 19.00 g/mol = 0.177 mol

Divide both by the least number of moles of the two.


Tin (Sn)= 0.044 mol /  0.044 mol = 1
Fluorine (F) =  0.177 mol / 0.044 mol = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula would be:
SnF4

How do materials, such as nutrients and waste, pass through the cell membrane?
Aleks04 [339]
Think of the cell membrane as a net and the nutrients are the perfect fit to fall through it. Where the waste is not the right size and will not fit through the holes of the net.

A merry go round (mass of 200kg and radius 5m) is rotating so that the outside edge is moving 10m/s. A giant bug of 6kd at a dis
romanna [79]

Answer:

2 rad/s

Explanation:

For a rotating object, the linear velocity is given by

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular velocity and r is the radius.

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

The edge has a linear velocity of 10 m/s and the radius at the edge is 5 m.

\omega=\dfrac{10 \text{ m/s}}{5 \text{ m}} = 2 \text{ rad/s}
