Answer: Frequent collisions turned rocks to dust, pushing the dust deeper into space.

Explanation:

Particles accumulate due to force of gravity in the accretion process. With increase in mass, gravity increases which pulls in more mass. This leads to formation of of bigger massive objects. The frequency of collisions between particles increases. Particles collide and stick with each other. This generates large amount of heat.This is how, planets and other celestial bodies are formed. As gravity pulls the nebular disk inward, the disk spins faster. Particles rotate in the same direction as the nebular disk.

Thus, the statement which does not support formation of planets through accretion process is: Frequent collisions turned rocks to dust, pushing the dust deeper into space.

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If

cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

A 1-kg rock is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meterstick at the 0-cm mark so that the meterstick barely balances like a

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg

It is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.

We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is

F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N

Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.

$9.8\times 12.5=W\times (50-12.5)\\\\W=\dfrac{9.8\times 12.5}{37.5}$

W = 3.266 N

The mass of the meters stick is :

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{3.266}{9.81}\\\\m=0.333\ kg$

So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.

A 43.9-g piece of copper (CCu= 0.385 J/g°C) at 135.0°C is plunged into 254 g of water at 39.0°C. Assuming that no heat is lost t

Semmy [17]

Answer:

$T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C$

Explanation:

The interaction of the piece of copper and water means that the first one need to transfer heat in order to reach a thermal equilibrium with water. Then:

$-Q_{out,Cu} = Q_{in,H_{2}O}$

After a quick substitution, the expanded expression is:

$-(43.9\,g)\cdot (0.385\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = (254\,g)\cdot (4.187\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-39\,^{\textdegree}C)$

$-16.902\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot (T-135^{\textdegree}C) = 1063.498\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C} \cdot (T-39^{\textdegree}C)$

$43758,192\,J = 1080.4\,\frac{J}{^{\textdegree}C}\cdot T$

The final temperature of the system is:

$T = 40.501\,^{\textdegree}C$
