Answer:

The density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

Explanation:

Mass of Saturn,  m=5.68\times 10^{26}\ kg  

Volume of Saturn, V=8.27\times 10^{23}\ m^3

Density of Saturn is given by its mass divided by its volume i.e.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

d=\dfrac{5.68\times 10^{26}}{8.27\times 10^{23}}

d=686.81\ kg/m^3

So, the density of Saturn is 686.81 kg/m³.

The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. It is clear that the density of Saturn is less than water.

Anna and Jon sit on a seesaw. Anna has a mass of 60 kg and sits 2 m from the center. Jon has a mass of 70 kg. How far from the c
Ronch [10]

Answer:

dJ = 1.7 m

Explanation:

The Equation of the Balancing the moments in the center of the seesaw  is like this:

∑Mo = 0

Mo = F*d

Where:

∑Mo : Algebraic sum of moments in the center(o) of the balance

Mo : moment in the o point ( N*m)

F  : Force ( N)

d  : distancia of the force to the the o point  ( N*m)

Data

mA = 60 kg : mass of the Anna

mJ = 70 kg :  mass of theJon

dA = 2 m : Distance from Anna to the center of the seesaw

g: acceleration due to gravity

Calculation of the distance from Jon to the center of the seesaw  (dJ)

∑Mo = 0   WA : Ana's weight   , WJ : Jon's weight

W = m*g

(WA)(dA) - (WJ) (dJ) = 0

(mA*g)(dA) - (mJ*g)(dJ) = 0

We divide by g the equation:

(mA)(dA) - (mJ)(dJ)= 0

(mA)(dA) = (mJ)(dJ)

d_{J} = \frac{m_{A} *d_{A}}{m_{J}}

d_{J} = \frac{60 kg *2 m}{70 kg}

dJ = 1.7 m

The era of planet formation ended when the remaining hydrogen and helium gas of the solar nebula was swept into interstellar spa
artcher [175]

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.

If a crow flies west for 60 km and then south for 45 km, what is the direction of its displacement?
son4ous [18]
That's 105 km that he flew, or 65.2 miles !  I'm absolutely positive
that the crow must have landed and gotten some rest when you
weren't looking.  But that had no effect on his displacement when
he got where he was going, so we can continue to solve the problem:


The displacement is the distance and direction from the place
where the crow took off to the place where he landed.

-- It's distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs
are 60 km and 45 km.

        D²  =  (60 km)²  +  (45 km)²

              =    3,600 km²  +  2,025 km²  =  5,625 km²

         D  =  √(5625 km²)  =  75 km .    
 
-- It's direction is the angle whose tangent is  (45 S / 60 W).

         tan⁻¹ (45/60)  =  tan⁻¹ (0.75)  =  36.9° south of west

                                                         =  53.1° west of south.

                                                         =  not exactly southwest but close.
