Answer:

false statement : b ) For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = - Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second option, the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar spa

artcher [175]

Answer:

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar space by the solar winds.

Explanation:

The Solar System is formed from a molecular cloud (compound by gas and dust). If there is a near perturbation to the cloud, maybe due to a supernova explosion, the molecular cloud will collapse under its own gravity. Then, in some point it starts to rotate and will accrete all the material in a disk around the protostar¹.

Inside the disk, dust particles start to collide and accrete until they form planetesimals². As a consequence of the gravitational force of the star, rocky and metallic particles will be more attracted to the inner part of the Solar System (close to the Sun) since they have more mass than gas.

Then, when the star has the necessary pressure and temperature to initiate nuclear reactions in its core, it will be able to emit huge amounts of energy, better known as solar winds. These winds will expel gas (hydrogen and helium) from the Solar System more easily than the rocky and metallic particles.

Notice that when such event occurs, rocky and gaseous planets were already formed.

Key terms:

¹Protostar: A young star.

²Planetesimals: Object formed by many fragments due to the gravitational attraction between them.
