yea i got a mail about that as well kim
try entering a 1 mile projectile at an angle of <30 degrees with rock as composition ,wouldnt want to be in the vicinity of that

Your Inputs:
Distance from Impact: 40.25 km = 25.00 miles
Projectile Diameter: 16.00 m = 52.48 ft = 0.01 miles
Projectile Density: 8000 kg/m3
Impact Velocity: 143.29 km/s = 88.98 miles/s
Impact Angle: 25 degrees
Target Density: 3000 kg/m3
Target Type: Competent Rock or saturated soil
Energy:
1.76 x 1017 Joules = 4.21 x 101 MegaTons TNT
The average interval between impacts of this size somewhere on Earth is 2.0 x 103years
Crater Size:
What does this mean?



Transient Crater Diameter: 1.18 km = 0.73 miles
Final Crater Diameter: 1.84 km = 1.14 miles
The crater formed is a simple crater
Thermal Radiation:
What does this mean?



Time for maximum radiation: 0.01 seconds after impact


Visible fireball radius: 1.0 km = 0.6 miles
The fireball appears 5.6 times larger than the sun
Thermal Exposure: 4.44 x 103 Joules/m2
Duration of Irradiation: 1 seconds
Radiant flux (relative to the sun): 3.0




Seismic Effects:
What does this mean?


The major seismic shaking will arrive at approximately 8.1 seconds.
Richter Scale Magnitude: 5.7
Mercalli Scale Intensity at a distance of 40.25 km:


VI. Felt by all. Many frightened and run outdoors. Persons walk unsteadily. Windows, dishes, glassware broken. Knickknacks, books, etc., off shelves. Pictures off walls. Furniture moved or overturned. Weak plaster and masonry D cracked. Small bells ring (church, school). Trees, bushes shaken (visibly, or heard to rustle).

VII. Difficult to stand. Noticed by drivers of motor cars. Hanging objects quiver. Furniture broken. Damage to masonry D, including cracks. Weak chimneys broken at roof line. Fall of plaster, loose bricks, stones, tiles, cornices (also unbraced parapets and architectural ornaments). Some cracks in masonry C. Waves on ponds; water turbid with mud. Small slides and caving in along sand or gravel banks. Large bells ring. Concrete irrigation ditches damaged.

Masonry C. Ordinary workmanship and mortar; no extreme weaknesses like failing to tie in at corners, but neither reinforced nor designed against horizontal forces.
Masonry D. Weak materials, such as adobe; poor mortar; low standards of workmanship; weak horizontally.


Ejecta:
What does this mean?



Most ejecta is blocked by Earth's atmosphere


Air Blast:
What does this mean?


The air blast will arrive at approximately 134.2 seconds.
Peak Overpressure: 11262.5 Pa = 0.1126 bars = 1.5993 psi
Max wind velocity: 23.0 m/s = 51.6 mph
Sound Intensity: 81 dB (Loud as heavy traffic)
Damage Description:


Glass windows will shatter.

Hey Kimk! Good to see you. Where d'ya go?

i like this energy output:

Wow, I could quite possibly offset the orbit of the earth with this thing, and thus destroy it, but blow off half the face of the earth first. True fun!

Nice thing, real neat.

Might I be the first to say, you were gone?

i had a crater size of 2348909823587329085 km..... nuff said

ff: how the **** did you do that?
You probably blew the earth into the sun!!!

i added about 16 zeros to some of the calculations

Thats keeps cool but FF how do u do that?

there is a new invention on the site, called input boxes

hehe...we are dead

lol...wtf...we got hit by a sun or something
