What is the name for a depression in the moon caused by an object striking its surface?
They are referred to as impact craters.
How does the height of the object or distance from the surface affect the impact crater?
Due to height and pressure
Are there meteorites on mars that have hit it?
Yes. In fact, scientists have found meteorites here on Earth that appear to be pieces blasted off the surface of Mars when some much larger object hit it!
When was the moon formed?
The prevailing theory at present is some form of early impact with the partly-cooled Earth. This may have been a co-orbiting object that fused with the Earth after the collision, but that blasted loose the material which later formed the Moon.(see the related question)the moon isn't as old as the Earth and was formed approximately 30-50 million years after the Solar System based on what is called 'the giant impact theory'.
What is an impact basin?
It is a type of large crater (surface depression or pit) left on the surface of a moon or planet, caused by a large object striking its surface. It may include concentric rings or flows of melted rock.(see also the related link for a video on craters produced in a lab)
How do you reduce the impact force when hits another object?
If before .........increase the friction of surface If after............increase the mass of stationary object
When does a metereor become a meterorite?
If an object from space survives impact with the Earth's surface, it is then a meteorite.
What is a hole in the surface of a moon or planet formed by the impact of a space object is called?
A crater

How does the height of the object or distance from the surface affect the impact crater?
Due to height and pressure
How does the coefficient of friction change with sliding velocity?
The relationship between the coefficient of kinetic friction ( denoted as uk ) and the mass, surface area, type of material or the speed of the object, is that the uk between a moving object and a non-moving object affects and distributes it on every points of an atom or molecule in all regions of both of the surface area of the two objects in contact with the object in motion, also the material from the object in motion relatively in contact to the surface of the other object which is not moving at all, determines the speed of the object, whether the material is rough that has lesser speed than that of a smooth surface or smooth vice versa.
Are there meteorites on mars that have hit it?
Yes. In fact, scientists have found meteorites here on Earth that appear to be pieces blasted off the surface of Mars when some much larger object hit it!
When light hits an object most of the light is absorbed by what?
simple when a light strikes a surface the amount of energy that refactes that surface is generally aborbed by the object(material) which it aabsorbs the energy from light.
How does caustic clean?
If something is caustic, it means that it is corrosive. It can clean an object by dissolving material on the surface of it.
What does it mean by lunar impact?
Lunar impact is often used to describe the crash landing - intended or otherwise - of a spacecraft or probe into the lunar surface. It can also apply to any object impacting the surface, such as a rock.
When polish the gold why the weight is decreased?
Because polishing something removes a little material from the surface of the object.
