Abstract

Linear and angular momentum transfer efficiencies for oblique impacts into spherical mortar targets at velocity up to about 4 km s −1 were determined. Angular momentum transfer efficiency decreases gradually while linear momentum transfer efficiency increases with increasing impact velocity. This is understood by determining the impact-velocity dependence of both the total momentum carried by ejecta and its direction.
