Why do the giant planets and their moons have compositions different from those of the terrestrial planets?

Physics
1 answer:
dangina [55]3 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

The formation of planets ,initially was the result of gradual accumulation of  solid matter into the solar nebula. As a result of high temperature in the interior of our solar system, metals and rocks were the only materials to get compressed.

The matter that was volatile could not be compressed so close to the heat energy radiated by the early Sun.

On the outer part of the solar system, solid matter included hydrogen compounds, rocks and metals  with a lot of matter for planet formation.

The Giant planets were formed by capturing Helium and hydrogen gases as well whereas the terrestrial planets being much more smaller are made up of mainly rocks like silicates and metals like iron.

The moons of terrestrial planets like that of Earth is also terrestrial in nature consisting of rocks and metals as the constituent material while that of giant planets consist of frozen water in half the proportion and the other half is rocks and metals.

two cars are moving at constant speeds in a straight line along a major highway. The first is travelling at 20ms^-1 and the seco
Reika [66]

Answer:

t=750s

Explanation:

The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:

\Delta x=vt\\x_f-x_0=vt\\x_f=x_0+vt

x_f is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:

x_0_1=6km\\x_0_2=0

We have x_f_1=x_f_2. Thus, solving for t:

x_0_1+v_1t=x_0_2+v_2t\\x_0_1=t(v_2-v_1)\\t=\frac{x_0_1}{v_2-v_1}\\t=\frac{6*10^3m}{28\frac{m}{s}-20\frac{m}{s}}\\t=750s
