Describe the protoplanet nebular model of the origin of the solar system. Which part or parts of this model seem least credible to you? Explain. What information could you look for today that would cause you to accept or modify this least credible part of the model?

The description of the protoplanet nebular model of the solar system and the part of the model which seem credible. Also, the information that can lead to the acceptance of the least credible part of the model.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
A protoplanet is the earliest stage in the formation of a planet which involves three stages: (A) The formation of elements heavier than hydrogen and creation of large clouds of dust and gases, (B) The beginning of formation of large and slowly rotating nebula from the remaining gas, dust, elements and compounds of chemical compounds and (C) It begins when protosun establish as a star after undergoing an initial flare-up which blasted away most of the hydrogen and helium gas around the inner planets.
The information regarding the reason for the formation of the planets, the reason for the accretion disk, and reason for the inner planets being rocky when the outer planets are gaseous can lead to the acceptance of the least credible part of the model.
Explanation of Solution
A protoplanet is the earliest stage in the formation of a planet. The model can be considered in stages, which are not really a part of the model but a convenient way for better understanding. It involves three stages which are given below.
Stage A: It is the stage of formation of the solar system which consists of the formation of the elements heavier than hydrogen. It involves the creation of large clouds of dust and gases which rotates slowly from the supernova of earlier stars.
Stage B: It involves the beginning of formation of large and slowly rotating nebula which is larger than the solar system from the remaining gas, dust, elements and compounds of chemical compounds when pulled into the center which then clumps together from numerous collisions.
Stage C: This stage begins when the protosun establish as a star after undergoing an initial flare-up which blasted most of the hydrogen and helium gas around the inner planets. The planets are sometime heated early in their formation so that the heavier elements are pulled to the center. Early atmosphere is formed from gases from the interiors of the planets.
There are many parts of the model which may not seem credible. The information regarding the reason for formation of the planets, the reason for the accretion disk, and reason for the inner planets being rocky when the outer planets are gaseous can lead to acceptance of least credible part of model.

- Please help me on the following question (Please refer to image below)An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The barexerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has amass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each armis 0.5 m from hand. Assuming the lifter is facing us in the diagram below, his right deltoidinserts 14cm from the shoulder at an angle of 13° counter-clockwise from the humerus.A) You are interested in calculating the force in the right deltoid. Draw a free body diagramof the right arm including the external forces, joint reaction forces, a coordinate system andstate your assumptions.B) Find the force exerted by the right deltoidC) Find the shoulder joint contact force. Report your answer using the magnitude and directionof the shoulder force vector.arrow_forwardI need help with part B. I cant seem to get the correct answer.

Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl₂ gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr and 24°C. (a) How many grams of Cl₂ are in the sample? ⚫ Atomic mass of CI = 35.453 g/mol • Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 x 35.453 = 70.906 g/mol Solution: Use the Ideal Gas Law: Step 1: Convert Given Values • Pressure: P = 895 torr → atm PV= = nRT 1 P = 895 × = 1.1789 atm 760 • Temperature: Convert to Kelvin: T24273.15 = 297.15 K • Gas constant: R = 0.0821 L atm/mol. K Volume: V = 8.70 L Step 2: Solve for n . PV n = RT n = (1.1789)(8.70) (0.0821)(297.15) 10.25 n = = 0.420 mol 24.405 Step 3: Calculate Mass of Cl₂ Final Answer: 29.78 g of Cl₂. mass nx M mass= (0.420)(70.906) mass= 29.78 garrow_forward
