Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun

Physics
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]4 years ago
7 0

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

a block has a volume of 0.09m3 and a density of 4,000kg/m3. what's the force of gravity acting on the block in water
Lunna [17]
       Density = (mass) / (volume)

                                4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

Multiply each side
by  0.09 m³ :           (4,000 kg/m³) x (0.09 m³) = mass

                                 mass = 360 kg .

Force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

                           = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                           = (360 x 9.8)  kg-m/s²

                           =   3,528 newtons .  

That's the force of gravity on this block, and it doesn't matter 
what else is around it.  It could be in a box on the shelf or at 
the bottom of a swimming pool . . . it's weight is 3,528 newtons 
(about 793.7 pounds). 

Now, it won't seem that heavy when it's in the water, because 
there's another force acting on it in the upward direction, against 
gravity.  That's the buoyant force due to the displaced water.

The block is displacing 0.09 m³ of water.  Water has 1,000 kg of 
mass in a m³, so the block displaces 90 kg of water.  The weight 
of that water is  (90) x (9.8) = 882 newtons (about 198.4 pounds), 
and that force tries to hold the block up, against gravity.

So while it's in the water, the block seems to weigh

       (3,528  -  882) = 2,646 newtons  (about 595.2 pounds) . 

But again ... it's not correct to call that the "force of gravity acting 
on the block in water".  The force of gravity doesn't change, but 
there's another force, working against gravity, in the water.

Some one help my science homework is due tomorrow and I'm so stuck with question 8-9, and 11-12
yuradex [85]
Off the top of my head, I only know 9 and 11, so I'll answer those two.

9) A heterotroph is an organism that relies on other organisms for food/energy
    An autotroph can produce its own food from inorganic compounds (light)

11) Vascular plants have specialized tubes for transporting nutrients
      Nonvascular plants do not have such tubes and are simpler
