Answer:
The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar space by the solar winds.
Explanation:
The Solar System is formed from a molecular cloud (compound by gas and dust). If there is a near perturbation to the cloud, maybe due to a supernova explosion, the molecular cloud will collapse under its own gravity. Then, in some point it starts to rotate and will accrete all the material in a disk around the protostar¹.
Inside the disk, dust particles start to collide and accrete until they form planetesimals². As a consequence of the gravitational force of the star, rocky and metallic particles will be more attracted to the inner part of the Solar System (close to the Sun) since they have more mass than gas.
Then, when the star has the necessary pressure and temperature to initiate nuclear reactions in its core, it will be able to emit huge amounts of energy, better known as solar winds. These winds will expel gas (hydrogen and helium) from the Solar System more easily than the rocky and metallic particles.
Notice that when such event occurs, rocky and gaseous planets were already formed.
Key terms:
¹Protostar: A young star.
²Planetesimals: Object formed by many fragments due to the gravitational attraction between them.
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
Given
, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
Answer:
<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>
<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>
Explanation:
Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft
difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft
a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.
According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,
your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>
b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.
the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,
the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,
therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>
Static electricity can be an alternating current.
