1,600.   
So we have the planet earth, which has a radius of roughly 3960 miles. The formula for Circumference is 2*π*r. 2* π* 3960 ≠24881 miles. We have the Rate of Rotation is roughly 24881 miles. So take the Rate of Rotation and divide it by 24 and we get roughly 1037 MPH. then take this and multiply by 1.61 km/hr so we have 1660 km/hr.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Answer is option C (protoplanets).

Explanation:

During the formation of the solar system, a giant cloud of molecular dust collapsed to form stars, which were surrounded by a cloud of gas. The dust and other particles inside the cloud collide and merge together into larger mass through the gravitational and other forces. They continue to grow and become large enough to gravitationally attract other small celestial objects to form protoplanets. Some of the protoplanets continue their growth through the process called accretion and form planets.

Planetesimals - The small celestial objects formed during the early stages of the creation of the solar system.

Protoplanets - The objects formed when planetesimals became large enough to attract their neighboring celestial bodies through the force of gravity and grow by the process known as accretion, where they collide and merge together into larger bodies.

Extrasolar planets - The planets found outside our solar system (orbit another star, not the Sun).

What critical role did the Balkans play in the start of World War 1?
Licemer1 [7]
The Balkans Campaign  of World War I was fought between the Central Powers, represented by Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany and the Ottoman Empire on one side and the Allies, represented by France, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, and the United Kingdom (and later Romania and Greece, who sided with the Allied Powers) on the other side. The Balkans were a cluster of nations in eastern Europe, between the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. 2. Their location made the Balkans strategically important, so European powers were focused on events there. ... The Balkans were disrupted by two wars in 1912-13, as well as rising Serbian nationalist groups.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in the Balkan city of Sarajevo provided the Austro-Hungarian government with a pretext for crushing Serbian nationalism, something it had long desired,
 while nobody seemed to much care about the assassination itself, Austria-Hungary had been looking for an excuse to wage a “preventative war” against Serbia as a state in order to weaken or destroy them so as to take back territory in the Balkans, which had been taken during the Balkan Wars.  They had not taken it back up to this point because they lacked Germany’s support;
