Which forms first: protoplanets or planetesimals?

Physics
1 answer:

A planetesimal is small bodies from which a planet originated in the early stages of formation of the solar system. Protoplanets are when planetesimals join together through collisions and through the force of gravity to form larger bodies.

Therefore, planetesimals are formed first.

Which of the following situations could cause light to diffract?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

B. Light passes through a small opening

Explanation:

Diffraction is one of the properties of wave defined as the bending of wave around corners. It occurs mostly when waves passes through a tiny opening or slit. The type of waveform generated by the wave depends on the type of opening or slit that the medium passes through. The opening can be tiny or large.

Based on the definition, it can be inferred that the situation that causes light waves to diffract is when the light passes through a small opening. For example, the light of a torch passing through a tiny door hole is diffraction.

what should be done in order to increase the gravitational force between two objects? Decrease the mass of both of the objects.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Decrease the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

The force (F) of attraction between two masses (M₁ and M₂) separated by a distance (r) is given by:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

NOTE: G is the gravitational force constant.

From the equation:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

We can say that the force is directly proportional to the masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This implies that an increase in any of the masses will increase the force of attraction and likewise, a decrease in any of the masses will lead to a decrease in the force of attraction.

Also, an increase in the distance between the masses will result in a decrease in the force of attraction and a decrease in the distance between the masses, will result in an increase in the force of attraction.

Considering the question given above,

To increase the gravitational force between the two objects, we must decrease the distance between the two objects as explained above.

the half-life of iodine-131 is 8.1 days. how much time had passed if i only have one-fourth of the original sample?​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

16.2 days

Explanation:

Find the number of halflives:

1/2   *  1/2 =  1/4     so <u>two</u>   halflives have passed

   2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days

A three branch parallel circuit has resistors of 27 W, 56 W, and 15 W. What is the total resistance?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:8.2 Ω

Explanation:

I ASSUME you mean Ω (ohms) and not W(atts)

Re = 1/(1 / 27 + 1/56 + 1/15) = 8.2263329... ≈ 8.2 Ω
