Briefly describe the formation of the planets from the solar nebula

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The formation of the Solar System began 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a proto-planetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.

Hope it helped

Suppose we take a 1 m long uniform bar and support it at the 21 cm mark. Hanging a 0.40 kg mass on the short end of the beam res

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The mass of the beam is = 29 kg.

Explanation:

A beam with mass 40 kg is shown in figure. Point S is the support point. Point B is the middle point on the beam where mass of the beam acts.

Taking moment about Point S

40 × 21 = $M_{beam}$ × 29

$M_{beam}$ = 29 kg

Therefore the mass of the beam is = 29 kg.

the resistivity of gold is 2.44×10−8Ω⋅m at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a cur

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.03605 V/m is the electric field in the gold wire.

Explanation:

Resistivity of the gold = $\rho = 2.44\times 10^{-8} \Omega.m$

Length of the gold wire = L = 14 cm = 0.14 m ( 1 cm = 0.01 m)

Diameter of the wire = d = 0.9 mm

Radius of the wire = r = 0.5 d = 0.5 × 0.9 mm = 0.45 mm = $0.45\times 0.001 m$

( 1mm = 0.001 m)

Area of the cross-section = $A=\pi r^2=\pi r^(0.45\times 0.001 m)^2$

Resistance of the wire = R

Current in the gold wire = 940 mA = 0.940 A ( 1 mA = 0.001 A)

$R=\rho\times \frac{L}{A}$

$V(voltage)=I(current)\times R(Resistance)$ ( Ohm's law)

$\frac{V}{I}=\rho\times \frac{L}{A}$

We know, Electric field is given by :

$E=\frac{dV}{dr}$

$E=\frac{V}{L}$

$E=\frac{V}{L}=\rho\times \frac{I}{A}$

$E=2.44\times 10^{-8} \Omega.m\times \frac{0.940 A}{\pi r^(0.45\times 0.001 m)^2}=0.03605 V/m$

0.03605 V/m is the electric field in the gold wire.

A package was determined to have a mass of 5.7 kilograms. What's the force of gravity acting on the package on earth?

Arturiano [62]

1.) The force of gravity is what we call weight, we define it as:
w=mg
w=5,7kg*9,8m/s²
w=55,86kg (b)
2.) We know that:
power=W/t
power=50J/20s
power=2,5Watts (a)
3.) The work done is equal to the potential energy, so:
Epg=mgh
Epg=63kg*9,8m/s²*7m
Epg=4321J
Now we get the power:
power=W/t
power=4321J/5s
power=864Watts
Now:
1HP=746Watts
=1,16HP (b)
4.) We know that:
F=ma
350N=m*10m/s²
m=350N/10m/s²
m=35kg (b)
5.) d.) Aceleration is tha rate of change in velocity, either positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing)
