What role did gravity play in the formation of the planets?

2 answers:

6 0

Gravitational forces brought together several moon-sized bodies, called planetesimals, to form larger bodies that became planets.

Your answer would be D.
If an object has mass, it has gravity, and the more mass it has, the stronger its gravity. During the formation of planets, essentially, various matter and elements pulled and fused together (because of the gravity), forming planetesimals.

A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance is given by $r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m$

(b) Y component of distance is given by $r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m$

These are the x and y component of position vector

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 8.8 s, reaching a speed of 10 m/ s. It then collides with a

atroni [7]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

time of motion, t = 8.8 s

final velocity of the car, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of kinetic energy; the initial kinetic energy is equal final kinetic energy.

$K.E_i = K.E_f\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}(1200)(10)^2\\\\K.E_f = 60,000 \ J$

Therefore, the final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.
