<h2>Answer: The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust.</h2>

The most accepted theory so far, in relation to the formation of our solar system is that it was originated by the contraction of a cloud of interstellar gas due to its own gravity.

To understand it better:

According to this theory, a cloud of gas and interstellar dust began to shrink due to its own gravity. This led to the increase in the temperature of the system, which began to rotate forming a large gas sphere in the center (the Sun) with a flat disk around it.

This is how the Sun formed from the sphere in the center and the planets formed from the disk orbiting in the same plane.

A trebuchet was a hurling machine built to attack the walls of a castle under siege. A large stone could be hurled against a wal

Studentka2010 [4]

(a) 18.9 m/s

The motion of the stone consists of two independent motions:

- A horizontal motion at constant speed

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ) downward

We can calculate the components of the initial velocity of the stone as it is launched from the ground:

$u_x = v_0 cos \theta = (25.0)(cos 41.0^{\circ})=18.9 m/s\\u_y = v_0 sin \theta = (25.0)(sin 41.0^{\circ})=16.4 m/s$

The horizontal velocity remains constant, while the vertical velocity changes due to the acceleration along the vertical direction.

When the stone reaches the top of its parabolic path, the vertical velocity has became zero (because it is changing direction): so the speed of the stone is simply equal to the horizontal velocity, therefore

$v=18.9 m/s$
