It’s true because gravity is what pulled the dust and minerals and formed them into plants and dwarf planets.

True

Explanation:

When the dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in. Some of them grew big enough for their gravity to shape them into spheres, becoming planets, dwarf planets and large moons.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each rod

L = Length of rod = Radius of ring

$m_r$ = Mass of ring

Moment of inertia of a spoke

$\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

For 8 spokes

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}$

Moment of inertia of ring

$m_rL^2$

Total moment of inertia

$8\dfrac{mL^2}{3}+m_rL^2\\\Rightarrow L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$

The moment of inertia of the wheel through an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the ring is $L^2(\dfrac{8m}{3}+m_r)$ .

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
