The nebula hypothesis of the formation of the solar system assumes that the material that became the solar system began as a lar

ge spherical cloud of gas and dust, rotating slowly. As the solar system formed, most of this material was transformed into a compact, flattened disk, rotating more rapidly. What is the explanation for this change in shape and rate of rotation?
A. the influence of nearby stars
B. differentiation of materials easily vaporized and not easily vaporized
C. alignment with the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy
D. conservation of angular momentum

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

According to the nebula hypothesis that explains the formation of solar system, there occurs changes in terms of its shape as well as the rate of rotation. It is because of the conservation of angular momentum.

The total angular momentum comprising a system remains same or constant, throughout its period of rotation in the absence of net torque. Due to the increasing density, the nebula eventually collapses, and these clouds of gases collides with one another and forms a large cloud. These clouds attains an average velocity and results in an orderly motion, which eventually take the shape of a disk. This is how with time, the sun and the planets have formed, comprising the solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Change in Energy Quick Check
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The force of gravity on the object decreases.  (FALSE)

The potential energy of the object decreases.  (TRUE)

The acceleration due to gravity decreases.  (FALSE)

The kinetic energy of the object decrease (FALSE)

Explanation:

<u>FORCE OF GRAVITY:</u>

Force of gravity on the object is the weight of object, which depends upon the mass and value of acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity is also constant on earth.

Therefore, force of gravity remains same on the object. <u>The statement is false.</u>

<u></u>

<u>POTENTIAL ENERGY:</u>

Potential energy of object depends upon the mass, value of acceleration due to gravity, and change in height of object (P.E = mgΔh). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and acceleration due to gravity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth. But, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, potential energy of object decreases. <u>The statement is true.</u>

<u></u>

<u>ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY:</u>

Acceleration due to gravity depends upon the altitude (gh = g[1 - 2h/Re]). Since, the height of object is decreasing.

Therefore, acceleration due to gravity increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

But, this change is not significant.

<u>KINETIC ENERGY:</u>

Kinetic Energy of object, which depends upon the mass and velocity of the object (K.E = mv²/2). Since, the value mass is constant on Earth and velocity increases as the object moves towards the surface of earth.

Therefore, kinetic energy of the object also increases. <u>The statement is false.</u>

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given b
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

The quantity of charge Q in coulombs (C) that has passed through a point in a wire up to time t (measured in seconds) is given by :

Q=t^3-2t^2+4t+4

We need to find the current flowing. We know that the rate of change of electric charge is called electric current. It is given by :

I=\dfrac{dQ}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{d(t^3-2t^2+4t+4)}{dt}\\\\I=3t^2-4t+4

At t = 1 s,

Current,

I=3(1)^2-4(1)+4\\\\I=3\ A

So, the current at t = 1 s is 3 A.

For lowest current,

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0\\\\\dfrac{d(3t^2-4t+4)}{dt}=0\\\\6t-4=0\\\\t=0.67\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

2 * 1.5 * (.850/2)^2A small ball with mass 1.50 kg is mounted on one end of a rod 0.850 m long and of negligible mass. The syste
grin007 [14]

Answer

given,

mass of the rod = 1.50 Kg

length of rod = 0.85 m

rotational velocity = 5060 rev/min

now calculating the rotational inertia of the system.

I = m L^2        

where L is the length of road, we will take whole length of rod because mass is at  the end of it.      

I = 1.5 \times 0.85^2  

I = 1.084 kg.m²                        

hence, the rotational inertia the system is equal to I = 1.084 kg.m²
