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.

The momentum before is zero because nothing is moving. Note that because momentum is a conserved vector, the total momentum after the shot is also zero. You just have to add the products of mass and velocity in opposite directions. So the answer is zero

Identrying the speed of the Cart
aleksklad [387]

The speed of the cart after 3 seconds of Low fan speed is equal to 54 cm/s.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

At Low fan speed after 3 seconds, the distance covered is 162 cm:

Speed = 162/3

Speed = 54 cm/s.

At Medium fan speed after 5 seconds, the distance covered is 600 cm:

Speed = 600/5

Speed = 120 cm/s.

At High fan speed after 2 seconds, the distance covered is 128 cm:

Speed = 128/2

Speed = 64 cm/s.

Which force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the sun?
andreev551 [17]

The force is reasonable for making fusion possible in the Sun is heat energy.

<h3>What is nuclear fission and fusion?</h3>

When the slow moving neutrons are bombarded with the heavy radioactive nuclei, the product is the more number of neutrons are produced with the large amount of energy. This multiplying process is called nuclear fusion.

The amount of energy produced in such a reaction can be calculated using the equivalence of mass and energy relationship.

E = mc²

The same happens in nuclear fusion where large amount of energy is needed to make more heavy nuclei.

Thus, fusion requires heat energy to continue the reaction.
