what is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction?

This is one type of line graph in which the independent variable is time plotted on the x axis and the dependent variable, also numerical, is plotted on the y axis.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?

Given the data calculated in parts a, b, c, and d, determine the initial rate for a reaction that starts with 0.85 m of reagent a and 0.70 m of reagents b and c?
