Explanation:

Since, it is given that one hand completes 3.19 vibrations in 8.46 sec. Therefore, in one second the number of vibrations will be as follows.

              \frac{3.19}{8.46}

                = 0.377 vibrations

Hence,  frequency (f) = 0.38 Hz

Now, formula to calculate the speed is as follows.

               v = f \times \lambda

or,        \lambda = \frac{v}{f}                  

                = \frac{0.6 cm/s}{0.38}

                = 1.57 cm

Thus, we can conclude that the wavelength is 1.57 cm.

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar spa
artcher [175]

Answer:

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar space by the solar winds.

Explanation:          

The Solar System is formed from a molecular cloud (compound by gas and dust). If there is a near perturbation to the cloud, maybe due to a supernova explosion, the molecular cloud will collapse under its own gravity. Then, in some point it starts to rotate and will accrete all the material in a disk around the protostar¹.

Inside the disk, dust particles start to collide and accrete until they form planetesimals². As a consequence of the gravitational force of the star, rocky and metallic particles will be more attracted to the inner part of the Solar System (close to the Sun) since they have more mass than gas.

Then, when the star has the necessary pressure and temperature to initiate nuclear reactions in its core, it will be able to emit huge amounts of energy, better known as solar winds. These winds will expel gas (hydrogen and helium) from the Solar System more easily than the rocky and metallic  particles.

Notice that when such event occurs, rocky and gaseous planets were already formed.

       

Key terms:

¹Protostar: A young star.

²Planetesimals: Object formed by many fragments due to the gravitational attraction between them.

Answer:

C. amount of charge on the source charge.

Explanation:

Electric field lines can be defined as a graphical representation of the vector field or electric field.

Basically, it was first introduced by Michael Faraday and it is typically a curve drawn to the tangent of a point is in the direction of the net field acting on each point.

The number, or density, of field lines on a source charge indicate the amount of charge on the source charge. Therefore, the density of field lines on a source charge is directly proportional to quantity of charge on the source.

A student has a mass (including clothes and shoes) of 65.0 kg. She drinks a 12 oz. can of soda, with a nutritional energy conten
Stella [2.4K]

She can climb 0.92 m without losing weight.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy consisting of the product of mass, gravity and height.

1 cal = 4184 J

140 cal = 585760 J

Energy = 585760 J,  m = 65.0 kg = 65000 g,   Efficiency = 20 %

                                 GPE = mgh

where m represents the mass

          g represents the gravity,

           h represents the height.

                             585760 = 65000 \times 9.8 \times h

                                        h = 0.92 m.
