Chapter 7, Problem 12QQ
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
Based on computer models, when is planetary migration most likely to occur in a planetary system? (a) early in its history, when there is still a gaseous disk around the star (b) shortly after a stellar wind clears the gaseous disk away (c) late in its history, when asteroids and Cornets occasionally collide with planets

Express your answer in meters to three significant figures.
Learning Goal:
To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 4.1 for projectile motion problems.
A rock thrown with speed 12.0 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m before hitting the ground. From what height was the rock thrown? Use the value g = 9.800 m/s2 for the free-fall acceleration.
PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY 4.1 Projectile motion problems
MODEL: Is it reasonable to ignore air resistance? If so, use the projectile motion model.
VISUALIZE: Establish a coordinate system with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical. Define symbols and identify what the problem is trying to find. For a launch at angle θ, the initial velocity components are vix=v0cosθ and viy=v0sinθ.
SOLVE: The acceleration is known: ax=0 and ay=−g. Thus, the problem becomes one of…
