Answer:

The appearance and composition of meteorites is what we would expect if metal and rock condensed and increased as our theory suggests.

Explanation:

The planets and most of their satellites were formed by accretion of matter that accumulated around the largest pieces of the proto-nebula. After a chaotic succession of collisions, mergers and reconstruction processes, they acquired a size similar to the current one and moved until they were in the positions we know.

The area closest to the Sun was too warm to retain light materials. That is why the inner planets are small and rocky, while the outer ones are large and gaseous. The evolution of the Solar System has not stopped, but, after the initial chaos, most of the materials are now part of bodies located in more or less stable orbits.

Any theory that attempts to explain the formation of the Solar System should take into account that the Sun rotates slowly and only has 1 percent of the angular momentum, but it has 99.9% of its mass, while the planets have 99% of the angular momentum and only 0.1% of the mass. One of the explanations argues that, at first, the Sun was much colder; The density of its materials was slowing its rotation, while warming, until a certain balance was achieved.

For an unknown sample of the experiment, students measure 1679 counts when they first receive their sample and 1336 counts four
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Half life of the sample, t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 12.15 min

Given:

Initial amount, N = 1679

Final count of amount, N' = 1336

Time elapsed, t = 4 min = 240 s

Solution:

Now, To calculate the half life, using the relation:

N' = N(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

Now, substituting the given values in the above mentioned formula:

\frac{1336}{1679} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

0.796 = 0.5^{\frac{4}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

Taking log on both the sides:

ln(0.796) = \frac{4}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}ln(0.5)

0.329 = 4t_{\frac{1}{2}}

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 12.15 min
