Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they

form around the planet and not travel toward the Sun?​

Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.

About how many electrons are in 30 grams of water (H2O)?
jarptica [38.1K]

Hydrogen (H) has a molar mass of about 1.007 g/mol and has 1 electron.

Oxygen (O) has a molar mass of about 15.999 g/mol and has 8 electrons.

Then water (H₂O) has a total molar mass of about 18.015 g/mol and has 10 electrons.

30 g of water is the mass of

(30 g) × (1/18.015 mol/g) ≈ 1.66528 mol

of water. Recall that 1 mole is around 6.022 × 10²³ molecules (i.e. Avogadro's number). So 30 g of water is the mass of approximately 1.00285 × 10²⁴ molecules of water.

If each molecule contains 10 electrons, then 30 g of water contains 1.00285 × 10²⁵ ≈ 10²⁵ electrons.

Where does most of the oxygen at earth reside?
Lady_Fox [76]
Well most of the earth's oxygen resides in mineral oxides of the crust. a small fraction resides in the atmosphere and an even smaller fraction resides in the biosphere. still the biosphere is crucial to understanding the atmospheric oxygen budget as it controls short term exchanges between sediments and the atmosphere.

What is the difference between uniform and non-uniform magnetic field lines?
timurjin [86]
Uniform magnetic lines as the name suggests are composed of lines that point to the same direction and of the same magnitude. This means all of these lines exert the same force. Non-uniform relates to different directions of the lines and a varied magnitude.

An Elephant is pulled by a group of clowns across a circus. The elephant has a mass of 1000kg and the clowns are pulling with a
ycow [4]

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 1000kg

Force = 200N

To find acceleration;

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{F}{m}

Substituting into the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac{200}{1000}

Acceleration = 0.2m/s²
