e did the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium come from? The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, where did the elements heavier than hydrogen and helium come from? They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born. They have been present in the universe since its birth. They were produced by gravity in the solar nebula as it collapsed. They were made by chemical reactions in interstellar gas.

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

The figure above shows the net force exerted on an object as a function of the position of the object. The object starts from re
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

0.06 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Mass (m) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.0 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.09 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

3² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.09)

9 = 0 + 0.18a

9 = 0.18a

Divide both side by 0.18

a = 9 / 0.18

a = 50 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the mass of the object. This can be obtained as follow:

Net Force (F) = 3 N

Acceleration (a) = 50 N

Mass (m) =?

F = ma

3 = m × 50

Divide both side by 50

m = 3 / 50

m = 0.06 Kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.06 Kg

Sound waves need a medium to move through in order to keep moving. Through which of the following would sound travel the slowest
Troyanec [42]

Answer:A air

Explanation:Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.

Describe how a planet, solar system, galaxy, and the universe are related in terms of size.
Alexus [3.1K]

- The Solar System contains the sun and objects that orbit it, including the eight planets, comets, and asteroids, and the Galaxy contains about 100 billion stars, of which the sun is one, as well as large clouds of gas and dust. - The universe contains all physical matter and energy

So Therefore Universe Is the biggest terms of size because it contains all physical matter and energy hope it helps

What type of plate boundary do most volcanoes occur along
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Subducting convergent boundary

Explanation:

Generally, volcanoes occurs in both divergent and convergent boundaries. But the convergent boundary it occurs is usually associated with subduction.

Divergent boundary, plates move away from each other creating a new crust in the process. The diverging plates creates the space for magma to be squeezed through cracks and fissures. The magma's erupt to form volcanoes. In the Atlantic ocean the spreading of the plates causes an upwelling of magma through the crest of the Atlantic ridges. New oceanic crust are formed through this process. Sometimes the magma eruption forms volcanoes  that are higher than the sea level.

Convergent boundary , plates collides with each other . But in the case of volcanoes existence , the collision should be between a denser  plate(oceanic plates) and a less dense plates(continental plates) so that subduction can take place. The subducted plates (oceanic plates)  creates trenches and get expose to high temperature and pressure as it sinks toward the mantle. The upper mantle rocks melts and migrate to the earth surface forming volcanoes . Over 75% of the volcanoes occur along the pacific basin where convergent boundary is dominant. Pacific ring of fire has one of the most number of volcanoes.
