Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material.

At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in. Eventually the pressure in the core was so great that hydrogen atoms began to combine and form helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy. With that, our Sun was born, and it eventually amassed more than 99 percent of the available matter.

Matter farther out in the disk was also clumping together. These clumps smashed into one another, forming larger and larger objects. Some of them grew big enough for their gravity to shape them into spheres, becoming planets, dwarf planets and large moons. In other cases, planets did not form: the asteroid belt is made of bits and pieces of the early solar system that could never quite come together into a planet. Other smaller leftover pieces became asteroids, comets, meteoroids, and small, irregular moons.

Answer:

V = (Vx^2 + Vy^2)^1/2 = (40^2 + 62^2)^1/2

V = 73.8 m/s

tan theta = Vy / Vx = 62/40 = 1.55

theta = 57.2 deg

rjkz [21]
Well heat comes out from the stove and moved to the pot and is TOUCHING. So the heat transfer would be conduction because the heat moves from one object to another by TOUCHING.

The similarity between them is they both involve heat, there is many but that's a simple one

"a very light ideal spring stretches by 21.0 cm when it is used to hang a 135-n object. what is the weight of a piece of electro
Olin [163]
In the first scenario, upon reaching equilibrium
       mg = kx
      135 = k(0.21) [Converted x in SI units]
          k = 135/(0.21)

Similarly, in the second scenario, upon reaching equilibrium
       mg = kx
       mg = [(135)(.449)]/(0.21)
       mg = weight of the electronic equipment = 289 N(approx)
