Answer:

<em />

<em>All of the chemical elements in our solar system were forged in an ancient star that went supernova.</em>

Explanation:

This phrase means that the carbon, oxygen and nitrogen atoms in our bodies, as well as the other heavy elements in our solar system were created from previous stars over 4.5 billion years ago.

Star stuff got to Earth by means of a supernova explosion, which is an explosion of a massive star. This kind of stellar explosion creates a large cloud of gas and dust in space and the amount of material that the cloud is composed of depends on the type of supernova. The material from a supernova eventually disperses into interstellar space. The oldest stars consist of hydrogen and helium. Oxygen and the rest of the other heavier elements in the universe come from supernova explosions.

Therefore, <em>stars make heavy elements and later in their lives, they eject gas into the medium between stars so it can be part of subsequent stars, planets and eventually people.</em>

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Net force ( F ) = 208 N.

Speed of car ( v ) = 68.58 m/s.

Explanation:-

The radius ( r ) = 480 m.

Mass of passenger ( m ) = 65 kg.

Horizontal force ( f_{x} ) = 208 N.

Vertical force ( f_{n} ) = 637 N.

Net vertical component of force ( f_{x} ) = m*g - 637   = 65 * 9.8 - 637 =  0 N.

a ) magnitude of net force .

F = \sqrt{f^{2} _{x} + f^{2} _{y}  }   = \sqrt{208^{2} + 0^{2} }   = 208 N.

b) The speed of car.

f_{n}  = \frac{m*v^{2} }{r}    where v is the velocity.

637 = \frac{65 *v^{2} }{480}

v² = 4704

v = 68.58 m/s.

Archy [21]

Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, the  single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny is size size of terrestrial planet .

According to the question

Terrestrial Planets:

They belongs to a class of planets that are like the earth

Geological destiny :

Geology is biological destiny: Whatever minerals land or are deposited in a place determine what or who can make a living there millions of years later

Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, what single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny

i.e

The size of terrestrial planet is one of the factors to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny  

which determines how long the planet can retain internal heat, which drives geological activity because  Smaller worlds cool off faster and harden earlier .

Hence, Based on all we know about the terrestrial worlds, the  single factor appears to play the most important role in a terrestrial planet's geological destiny is size size of terrestrial planet .

Draw an atom of Aluminum, use your book to find the Atomic number and the mass.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons outside its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (1–) = 54].
