According to the nebular theory, how did the Oort cloud form? a. It consists of objects that fragmented from the protosun during a catastrophic collision early in the formation of the solar system. b. It is made of planetesimals formed in the outer solar system that were flung into distant orbits by encounters with the jovian planets. c. It is made of planetesimals between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that never formed into a planet. d. It is material left over from the interstellar cloud that never contracted with the rest of the gases to form the solar nebula.

what was the acceleration of the 2 kg cart?

⇒ 16.0 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 4 kg cart?

⇒ 8.1 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 6 kg cart?

⇒ 5.3 cm/s2

answer; how far out of place which the object finished relative to the starting location;

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
