The hypothesis is that around four and a half billion years ago, a mars-sized planetary object collided with the forming earth, merging the two masses at the expense of a massive amount of ejecta. This particulate ejecta, influenced by the local gravity, attracted together and formed the moon, locked tidally to the earth.

Answer:

The current accepted theory is known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, where according to this NASA webpage "Origin of the Earth and Moon" (Taylor) a Mars sized object collided into the early Earth.

The prevailing theory supported by the scientific community, the giant impact hypothesis suggests that the moon formed when an object smashed into early Earth. Like the other planets, Earth formed from the leftover cloud of dust and gas orbiting the young sun.

allsm [11]

Some plastics release toxic

They don’t break down over time

Explanation:

The two main facts that shows plastic affects the environment in a negative way is that some of them are toxic and they take a long time to completely break down.

  • Plastics are petrochemical products made up of high molecular mass organic compounds
  • These compounds in plastic polymers takes a very long time to break down
  • They also contain some toxins that are carcinogenic.
  • Foods packed in them can be exposed to these hazardous substances.
  • Most plastics leach chemicals that are very harmful.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

298,220 N

Explanation:

Let the force on car three is T_23-T_34

Since net force= ma

from newton's second law we have

T_23-T_34 = ma

therefore,

T_23-T_34 = 37000×0.62

T_23= 22940+T_34

now, we need to calculate

T_34

Notice that T_34 is accelerating all 12 cars behind 3rd car by at a rate of 0.62 m/s^2

F= ma

So, F= 12×37000×0.62= 22940×12= 275280 N

T_23 =22940+T_34= 22940+ 275280= 298,220 N

therefore, the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars

= 298,220 N
