The pressure outside (atmosphere) is greater than that inside the tube. This means that the mercury will be pushed up in the glass tube. This phenomenon is called the capillary rise. It shape would be like that of the outside of the umbrella. The answer is therefore letter D.

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

   2. Water

   3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk  is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.

A particle is moving along the x-axis so that its position at any time t is greater than and equal to 0 is given by x(t)=2te^-t?
erastovalidia [21]
For speed you can differentiate the equation, for acceleration you can again differentiate the equation .
at t=0 the particle is slowing down , when you get equation for velocity put t=0 then only -1 is left
