Write a paragraph explaining the origin of the solar system according to the nebular theory

1 answer:

3 0

<span>According to this theory, the Sun and all the planets of our Solar System began as a giant cloud of molecular gas and dust. Then, about 4.57 billion years ago, something happened that caused the cloud to collapse. This could have been the result of a passing star, or shock waves from a supernova, but the end result was a gravitational collapse at the center of the cloud.

We push a 38.4-kg box across the floor at constant velocity. If we are pushing a horizontal force of 238 N, find the coefficient

zmey [24]

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).

Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R

Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10

W= 384N =R

Normal reaction = 384N

The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N

Coefficient of friction = Fm/R

Coefficient of friction = 238/384

Coefficient of friction = 0.62

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62

Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?

Alex Ar [27]

Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Potential energy only

Explanation:

at the top of its swing the pendulum stops moving , (therefore it has no KINETIC energy) thus all of the energy is stored as potential energy.
