<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Gravity pulled particles of dust and gas together to form planets.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>The formation of the solar system took place about 4.6 billion years ago when gravity pulled together low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. In other words gravity pulled dust and gas particles together to form planets.</u></em>
It is believed that the solar system formed from an explosion that caused a disturbance of cloud of gas and dust in space. The explosion formed waves that squeezed the cloud and dust particles. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula and then planets were formed.
<em><u>Gravity is important as It keeps the solar system together because without it the planets including the earth would be floating around.</u></em>

How do the principles of convection, conduction, and radiation explain how the water in the saucepan gets hot?

RSB [31]

<span>Heat comes from stove flame to the sauce pan by radiation through infrared energy, heat conducts the metal of the sauce pan; Convection brings cool water to the hot surface at the bottom of the hot sauce pan until all or most of the water is hot enough to boil.</span>

A box has a mass of 150kg and the surface area of the bottom of the box is :

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Pressure = 100 Pascals

Explanation:

$pressure = \frac{force}{area} \\ = \frac{150 \times 10}{15} \\ = \frac{1500}{15} \\ = 100 pa$

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.

A sprinf has a potential energy of 84.08 J and a constant of 342.25 N/m. How far it been stretched? Use potential energy elastic

valina [46]

The spring has been stretched 0.701 m

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is the potential energy stored in the spring due to its compression/stretching. It is calculated as

$E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$
