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.

How do seatbelts reduce injury during a collision ?

RoseWind [281]

Among drivers and front-seat passengers, seat belts reduce the risk of death by 45%, and cut the risk of serious injury by 50%. Seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being ejected during a crash. People not wearing a seat belt are 30 times more likely to be ejected from a vehicle during a crash.

A jet with mass m = 5 × 104 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.9 m/s2. What is the net vertical force on the ai

OLEGan [10]

The first sentence got me all psyched up to answer the question "What
horizontal force do the engines generate in order to accelerate it ?".

But the actual question, in the second sentence, turned out to be
a completely different one.

When the plane levels off and continues on at a constant altitude, it's
not accelerating up or down, so the net vertical force on it is zero.
The lift generated by the wings is exactly balancing the downward
force of gravity on the airplane.

A system delivers 1275 j of heat while the surroundings perform 855 j of work on it. calculate ∆esys in j.

kakasveta [241]

The first law of thermodynamics says that the variation of internal energy of a system is given by:
$\Delta U = Q + W$
where Q is the heat delivered by the system, while W is the work done on the system.

We must be careful with the signs here. The sign convention generally used is:
Q positive = Q absorbed by the system
Q negative = Q delivered by the system
W positive = W done on the system
W negative = W done by the system

So, in our problem, the heat is negative because it is releaed by the system:
Q=-1275 J
while the work is positive because it is performed by the surrounding on the system:
W=+855 J

So, the variation of internal energy of the system is
$\Delta U = -1275 J+855 J=-420 J$

Describe the unique role of water in chemical and biological systems.

yKpoI14uk [10]

Of the important biological molecules only the non-polar lipids (fats and oils) and large polymers (e.g. polysaccharides, large proteins and DNA) do not dissolve. The water acts as a solvent for chemical reactions and also helps transport dissolved
