What role did gravity play in the formation of our solar system?

Chemistry

Dominik [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gravity helped to hold things in orbit and create the planets.

Explanation:

Scientist believe that the solar system started in a similar way to stars, from a nebula. They say that the it was a cloud of dust and gas called a nebula that contained mostly hydrogen and helium leftover from the "Big Bang"(which I have my arguments about.) They also say there were heavier elements. Gravity caused the nebula to shrink. As the nebula became smaller it had a rotation. As it got smaller it began to spin faster. The planets were formed by materials cooling off. As they were cooling off they began to clump together. Clumps collided with each other to make a bigger clump. Larger clumps would attract smaller clumps with their gravitational pull. Eventually the clumps started to form the planets and moons in today's solar system.

Calculate how much heat is absorbed by a sample that weighs 12 kilograms, has a specific heat of 0.231 kg/CJ, and is heated from
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

97 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of the sample (m): 12 kg
  • Specific heat capacity (c): 0.231 J/kg.°C (this can also be expressed as 0.231 J/kg.K)
  • Initial temperature: 45 K
  • Final temperature: 80 K

Step 2: Calculate the temperature change

ΔT = 80 K - 45 K = 35 K

Step 3: Calculate the heat required (Q)

We will use the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

Q = 0.231 J/kg.K × 12 kg × 35 K = 97 J

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road, and the ocean. Which material will heat up most during the
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road and the ocean. So basically asphalt road are heated the most during the day

Explanation:

The heat of water is more than the specific heat of sand.

Therefore sand is hot.

.Water is reflecting solar radiation.  

The land retains more heat since the land absorb solar radiation.

Therefore the land surfaces warm faster.

Since water is a slow conductor of heat, it need more energy than the sand. so its temperature is increasing.  soil loses heat faster.  

The ocean heats slower than land , the land air is more warmer than lean air. After the sun set the land loses heat quickly .The air above it cools.
