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.

A 35.8 kg box initially at rest is pushed 2.38 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied horizontal force of 108
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The work done by the applied force is 259.22 J.

Explanation:

The work done by the applied force is given by:

W = F*d

Where:

F: is the applied horizontal force = 108.915 N

d: is the distance = 2.38 m  

Hence, the work is:

W = F*d = 108.915 N*2.38 m = 259.22 J

Therefore, the work done by the applied force is 259.22 J.

I hope it helps you!

Which of the following will be the best condition for bread fermentation?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a. Wet, soft dough at 85 degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Fermentation is an anaerobic process that transforms starches into simpler substances. The rising of dough is due to fermentation.

According to Harold McGee, 85°F (29°C) is the best temperature for fermenting bread dough. Temperatures below 85°F (29°C) take  much longer to ferment, and temperatures higher than that result into unpleasant flavors in the dough.

Wet, soft dough is usually more preferable because it produces a softer bread.
