Why do you think the outer planets have such extensive systems of rings and moons, while the inner planets do not?

Physics
1 answer:
Inessa05 [86]3 years ago

Answer:

Because of immense gravity

Explanation:

The formation of the Solar system was a very dynamic process. A lot of matter was thrown towards the outer solar system which further formed the Gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The size of these outer planets is huge so is their gravity.

Because of their huge gravity a lot of matter which was scattered in the outer solar system got attracted towards them. This matter is what make the rings of the outer planets. Also, because of immense gravity they captured larger bodies thus making them their Moons.

A car is traveling at 70 km/h. It then uniformly decelerates to a complete stop in 12 s. Find its acceleration ( in m/s2 ).
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be -1.620m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the car is 70 km/hr

We know that 1 km = 1000 m

And 1 hour = 3600 sec

So 70km/hr=70\times \frac{1000m}{3600sec}=19.444m/sec

It is given that car stops in 12 sec

So final speed of the car v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 12 sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So 0=19.444+a\times 12

a=\frac{-19.444}{12}=-1.620m/sec^2 ( negative sign indicates that speed of the car will constantly decrease )

An object has more momentum if it has which of the following?
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

C.) A high velocity and Large mass.

Explanation:

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

Here :  m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more.  So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.

A dart with mass md is launched toward a block of mass mb that is suspended from a string of length L. The dart is moving horizo
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.  

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.  

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N fo
denis-greek [22]
Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:
F/x = constant

F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂
2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂
x₂ = 16 m

Elastic work = 1/2 Fx
= 1/2 * 1600 * 16
= 12.8 kJ
