Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system, the inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun. The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars. The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets. If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking. The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sine the plane is horizontal , effect of gravity on horizontal motion will be nil.

Since no friction is acting on it , no horizontal force is acting on it. Since no vertical ,no horizontal force is acting on it , it will have uniform motion ,ie its velocity will remain unchanged during its motion , no matter how long the path is.

So , velocity along the path will remain unchanged.

Akeem is walking on the beach on a hot summer day.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Sand in a beach is warmer than the water of the sea.

Explanation:

Water absorbs less heat from the sun when compared with sand. Sand is darker and also is less reflective. Because of its darker nature, absorption of heat from the sun will be more. Due to its less reflective nature the sand wouldn’t be able to reflect off the sunlight.

But water is highly reflective and can reflect off a major portion of the sunlight falling on the sea. The sea is also deep and thus the heat spreads through a large volume unlike in the case of sand. Water also has the nature of constant movement unlike sand which is stable.

This factor also heats up sand more than water.

A bowling ball with a mass of 7.0kg strikes a pin that had a mass of 2.0kg the pin flies forward with a velocity of 6.0m/s, and

Natalka [10]

The conservation of momentum P states that the amount of momentum remains constant when there are not external forces.

We don't have external forces, so:

$P_0 = P_1\\m_bv_{0b}+m_pv_{0p}=m_bv_{1b}+m_pv_{1p}\\$

Where:

mb is the mass of the bowling ball
mp the mass of the pin
$v_{0b}\quad and\quad v_{0p}$ the initial velocities of the bowling ball and the pin.
$v_{1b}\quad and\quad v_{1p}$ the final velocities of the bowling ball and the pin.

Solving for v0b:

$v_{0b} =\dfrac{m_bv_{1b}+m_pv_{1p}- m_pv_{0p}}{m_{b}}\\\\v_{0b} =\dfrac{(7\;kg)(4\;m/s)+(2\;kg)(6\;m/s)- (2\;kg)(0 \;m/s)}{7\;kg}\\v_{0b}=\dfrac{40}{7}\;m/s\\\\\boxed{v_{0b}\approx5.71\;m/s}$

<h2>R/ The original velocity of the ball was 5.71 m/s.</h2>
