Explain our ideas about why the terrestrial planets are rocky and have less gas than the giant planets.

Physics

Answer: The terrestrial planets are mainly comprised of silicate minerals and also there is presence of some metals, which were subsequently formed in the geological time scale, after the accumulation of smaller dust particles, due to the gravitational pull, during the time of formation of the planets.

Due to the location of these terrestrial planets near to the sun, their surface temperature is high enough to hold the gases like hydrogen and helium. Thus, they have a high density but less gases compared to the outer planets.

An arrow of mass 415 g is shot at a target with a speed of 68.5m/s. The target, which has a mass of 3.3 kg, is moving toward the
Murrr4er [49]

The velocity of the target and arrow after collision is 6.67m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mass of arrow, mₐ = 415g

Speed of arrow, vₐ = 68.5m/s

Mass of the target, mₓ = 3.3kg = 3300g

speed of the target, vₓ = -1.1m/s (Because the target moves in opposite direction

Velocity of the target and arrow after collision, vₙ = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum,

mₐvₐ + mₓvₓ = (mₐ+mₓ) vₙ

415 X 68.5 + 3300 X -1.1 = (415+3300) X vₙ

28427.5 - 3630 = 3715 X vₙ

24797.5 = 3715 X vₙ

vₙ = 6.67m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the target and arrow after collision is 6.67m/s

Oppositely charged objects attract each other. This attraction holds electrons in atoms and holds atoms to one another in many c
GalinKa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This can be explained as in Rutherford's model of atom the electrons orbits the nucleus which means that they will travel around the nucleus with some velocity and hence radiate electromagnetic waves which results in the loss of energy due to which the electron keeps coming closer and eventually falls into the nucleus.

But Bohr came up with a better explanation as according to the Bohr's atomic model, electrons stay fixed in orbit with certain energy in different shells around the nucleus and can only jump from an energy level to another if that specific amount of energy is supplied to it.

This model is based on the quantization of energy thus giving an explanation why electrons do not fall into the nucleus of an atom.
