Answer: C. The sun and planets formed from a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust.

Explanation:

The entire solar system was formed from solar nebula. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gases. When this cloud spins and contracts, a protostar is formed. The temperature rises and nuclear fusion kicks in forming a star. The rest of the matter forms planets and other celestial bodies of the star system. Similarly, the Sun was formed in solar nebula from collapsing of spinning cloud of dust and gas.

You're right, Answer C

The dust and gas accumulate to form a solar nebula, which later on creates the star and the planets.

A projectile is fired vertically upwards and reaches a height of 78.4 m. Find the velocity of projection and the time it takes t
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

1.) U = 39.2 m/s

2.) t = 4s

Explanation: Given that the

height H = 78.4m

The projectile is fired vertically upwards under the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let's assume that the maximum height = 78.4m. And at maximum height, final velocity V = 0

Velocity of projections can be achieved by using the formula

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

g will be negative as the object is moving against the gravity

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 78.4

U^2 = 1536.64

U = sqrt( 1536.64 )

U = 39.2 m/s

The time it takes to reach its highest point can be calculated by using the formula;

V = U - gt

Where V = 0

Substitute U and t into the formula

0 = 39.2 - 9.8 × t

9.8t = 39.2

t = 39.2/9.8

t = 4 seconds.
