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.

A block of concrete has a mass of 48kg a crane lifts the block to a height of 12m above the ground calculate the gravitational p
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J

An open organ pipe 30 cm long and a closed organ pipe 23 cm long, both of same diameter , are each sounding its first overtone ,
cupoosta [38]

First overtone of open organ pipe is given as

f_{1o} = \frac{v}{L_1 + 2e}

first overtone of closed organ pipe is given as

f_{1c} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

now they are in unison so we will have

\frac{v}{L_1 + 2e} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

\frac{1}{30 + 2e} = \frac{3}{4(23 + e)}

90 + 6e = 92 + 4e

e = 1 cm

so end correction of both pipes is e = 1 cm

In which scenario does radiation occur? warming soup on a stove drying towels at the beach cooking eggs in boiling water warming
shepuryov [24]

Answer: drying towels at the beach.

Explanation:

Radiation simply has to do with the energy that is gotten from a particular source and then goes through some materials. It simply means the way energy is being transmitted as waves or heat through a certain medium.

From the options given, the scenario whereby a radiation takes place is when drying towels on the beach.
