Answer:

B. Gravity compresses gases at the center of a solar nebula until temperatures are high enough for nuclear fusion to occur.

Explanation:

Stars are born in stellar nurseries known as nebula. Sun, the star at the center of the solar system was born in the solar nebula.

Nebula is a molecular cloud of dust and gases. Due to gravity, this cloud collapses under its own weight and condenses to form the core. It gathers more mass till the temperature of the core rises enough to start the nuclear fusion reaction. A star is born then.

Ber [7]

Answer:

a) motion is PARABOLIC, b) positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,  c)  x = 6.19 10⁹ m

Explanation:

This exercise looks at the motion of a positively charged particle in an electric field.

a) Since the field is vertical the acceleration in this direction is

            F = m a

the electric force is

           F = q E

we substitute

          q E = m a

           a = qE / m

the mass of the particle is m = 2.00 10-16 kg

           a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.02 10³ / 2.00 10⁻¹⁶ kg

           a = 1,616 m / s²

           

on the x-axis there are no relationships because there are no forces.

Since the particle has velocities in both axes, its motion is PARABOLIC,

b) the positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,

The field is descending, for which the event is down

c) where  hit the particle on the x-axis

they indicate that the particle leaves the center of the negative plate, for which we will fix our reference system at this point.

Let's find the components of the initial velocity.

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v

           v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

           v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

           v_{oy) = 1.02 10⁵ sin 37 = 0.6139 10⁵ m / s

           v₀ₓ = 1.02 10⁵ cos 37 = 0.8146 10⁵ m / s

Let's find the time it takes to hit the negative plate

            y = y₀I + v_{oy} t + ½ a and t2

in this case the positions are y = y₀ = 0 and the accelerations

a = - 1,616m/s2,

we substitute

            0 = 0 + v_{oy} t - ½ a_y t²

            v_{oy}= ½ a_y t

            t = 2v_{oy} / a_y

let's calculate

           t = 2 0.6139 10⁵ / 1.616

           t = 7.597 10⁴s

in this time the particle travels a horizontal distance

           x = v₀ₓ t

           x = 0.8145 10⁵ 7.597 10⁴

           x = 6.19 10⁹ m

the particle falls off the plate

nignag [31]
500 N  is the answer, you just tell that the moon is attracted towards the person because of the Earth's huge mass.
