Explain how the planets in the solar system formed

1 answer:

6 0

<span>So we want to know how did the planets form in the Solar system. So the current most accepted explanation is accretion. First the Sun formed, and what has left was a disk made out of gas and dust which later formed the planets trough attractive gravitational force.</span>

The volume of a gas depends upon its mass true or false

Kruka [31]

I would say false because the volume of gas depends on several things the amount of matter in the volume , the pressure and the temperature. So the answer would be false in my opinion. Because mass is not the only factor

Question 3 (1 point)

FrozenT [24]

The force of friction is equal to the pushing force, and the acceleration is zero

Explanation:

In this problem, we are pushing a piano along the floor, in the horizontal direction.

There are 2 forces acting in the horizontal direction on the piano:

The applied force, $F_a$ , acting forward
The force of friction, $F_f$ , acting backward

Therefore, the net force in the horizontal direction is

$\sum F = F_a - F_f$

According to Newton's second law, the net force is equal to the product between the piano's mass (m) and its acceleration:

$\sum F = ma$

Combining the two equations,

$F_a - F_f = ma$

However, we are also told that the piano moves at constant speed, therefore the acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

And so,

$F_a - F_f = 0\\F_f = F_a$

which means that the force of friction is equal to the applied force.

A map of eastern North America, showing the pH of rainfall in the various states, indicates that the pH of rain in New York Stat

pogonyaev

4.22

Explanation:

The most acidic rainfall in New York State will have pH of 4.22 whereas the least acidic will be that of 4.40.

The pH scale expresses the acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions.

The pH scale ranges from 1 to 4
An acidic solution will have a pH value less than 7

We have given a range of values between 4.22 to 4.40

This implies that the pH values of rainfall in this region falls between these extremes.

The least value 4.22 is the most acidic

The value 4.4 is the the least acidic

The lower the pH value, the more acidic a solution is.

Cart A of inertia m has attached to its front end a device that explodes when it hits anything, releasing a quantity of energy E

Leviafan [203]

We need to write down momentum and energy conservation laws, this will give us a system of equation that we can solve to get our final answer. On the right-hand side, I will write term after the collision and on the left-hand side, I will write terms before the collision.
Let's start with energy conservation law:
$\frac{mv^2}{2}+\frac{2mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+\frac{2mv_{B}^2}{2}$
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2$
This equation tells us that kinetic energy of two carts before the collision and 3 quarters of explosion energy is beign transfered to kinetic energy of the cart after the collision.
Let's write down momentum conservation law:
$mv+2mv=mv_A+2mv_B\\ 3mv=mv_A+2mv_B\\$
Because both carts have the same mass we can cancel those out:
$3v=v_A+2v_B$
Now we have our system of equation that we have to solve:
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2\\ 3v=v_A+2v_B$
Part A
We need to solve our system for $v_a$ . We will solve second equation for $v_b$ and then plug that in the first equation.
$3v=v_A+2v_B\\ 3v-v_A=2v_B\\ v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}$
Now we have to plug this in the first equation:
$\frac{3mv^2}{2}+0.75E=\frac{mv_{A}^2}{2}+mv_{B}^2\\v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}\\$
We will multiply the first equation with 2 and divide by m:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\v_B=\frac{3v-v_A}{2}\\$
Now we plug in the second equation into first one:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\ 3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2\frac{(3v-v_A)^2}{4}\\ 3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+\frac{9v^2-6v\cdot v_A+v_{A}^2}{2} /\cdot 2\\ 6v^2+\frac{3E}{m}=2v_{A}^2+9v^2-6v\cdot v_A+v_{A}^2}\\ 3v_A^2-6v\cdot v_a+3(v^2-\frac{E}{m})=0/\cdot\frac{1}{3}\\ v_A^2-3v\cdot v_A+ (v^2-\frac{E}{m})=0$
We end up with quadratic equation that we have to solve, I won't solve it by hand.
Coefficients are:
$a=1\\
b=-6v\\
c=v^2-\frac{E}{m}$
Solutions are:
$v_A=\frac{3v+\sqrt{5v^2+\frac{4E}{m}}}{2},\:v_A=\frac{3v-\sqrt{5v^2+\frac{4E}{m}}}{2}$
Part B
We do the same thing here, but we must express $v_a$ from momentum equation:
$3v=v_A+2v_B\\
v_A=3v-2v_B$
Now we plug this into our energy conservation equation:
$3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=v_{A}^2}+2v_{B}^2\\v_A={3v-v_B}\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=(3v-v_B)^2+2v_B^2\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=9v^2-6v\cdot v_B+v_B^2+2v_B^2\\
3v^2+\frac{3E}{2m}=3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+9v^2\\
3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+9v^2-3v^2-\frac{3E}{2m}=0\\
3v_B^2-6v\cdot v_B+(6v^2-\frac{3E}{2m})=0
$
Again we end up with quadratic equation. Coefficients are:
$a=3\\
b=-6v\\
c=6v^2-\frac{3E}{2m}$
Solutions are:
$v_B=\frac{6v+\sqrt{-36v^2+\frac{18E}{m}}}{6},\:v_B=\frac{6v-\sqrt{-36v^2+\frac{18E}{m}}}{6}$
