Jovian planets did not form in the inner solar system because: a. it was too hot for light-weight but abundant water, ammonia, and methane molecules to accrete into planetesimals that were sufficiently massive to gravitationally pull hydrogen and helium gas out of the solar nebula. b. it was cool enough in the inner solar system to accrete heavier metal and rock molecules into planetesimals, but since metals and rocks are significantly less abundant than water, ammonia, and methane, these planetesimals were small and not sufficiently massive to gravitationally pull hydrogen and helium out of the solar nebula.

The density of a liquid could be found by using

Geologists get to play with chemistry, physics, and history! and what a history you will meet as youwork your way through the course. starting at the beginning, the textbook provides the scientifically acceptedstart of the and promises that you'll get to explore some of the evidence for that scientific view, later inthe semester. meanwhile, which is more nearly correct of the scientifically accepted view? a) the earth formed when the big bang caused older materials to fall together, about 14 billion years ago. b) the earth formed from the falling together of older materials, about 4.6 billion years ago. c) the earth formed in the big bang, about 6000 years ago. d) the earth is eternal, having been here forever and promising to be here forever. e) the earth was assembled by gigantic space beavers, which gnawed down the primordial tree of life andpiled its branches together to form the planet.

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. you decide that you'll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in figure p23.56 . when you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nc and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 x10-7 c/m. what is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away?
