If our Sun and solar system had formed at the same time as the very first stars in the universe, describe how and why our solar

system would be different than the one we have today and the impact this would likely have had on the formation of life. (You will need to consider the state of the universe at the time of the formation of the first stars.

Answer:

How: It will have a very different chemical composition.

Why: Because the interstellar medium at the beginning of universe were compounded only of Hydrogen and Helium.

Explanation:

Once the Big Bang passed and the universe began its expansion, the temperature started to decrease, what allowed the combination of hydrogen and helium. Therefore, the chemical composition of the molecular cloud in which the first stars were formed only held those elements.

If the Sun and the solar system were formed from a molecular cloud with that composition, it will both have an absence of metallic elements (elements heavier than helium), since all of them are formed through nuclear reactions in the core of the stars, and each time a star dies, the interstellar medium for the next generation is enriched.

Key elements for life as Carbon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus and Sulfur will be missing for that hypothetical scenario.

For example, the lack of O3 (ozone) in the atmosphere of earth will allow that ultraviolet light hits the earth surface.

A student is collecting the gas given off from a plant in bright sunlight at a temperature of 27°c. The gas being collected is p
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The gas being collected is probably Oxygen

Explanation:

Plants produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis by utilizing carbon monoxide, a by-product produced by humans during the process of breathing. Humans also breathe in the oxygen ( by-product of photosynthesis) produced by the plants. Therefore, humans and plants live in a symbiotic relationship.

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. Sunlight is used as a energy source. Photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct.

At low temperatures, between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius – the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis do not work efficiently, and this decreases the photosynthetic rate.

At medium temperature above 10 degrees Celsius to below 40 degrees Celsius (e.g 27 degrees Celsius), the photosynthetic enzymes work at their optimum levels, so photosynthesis proceeds.

At a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius, the enzymes that carry out photosynthesis lose their shape and functionality, and the photosynthetic rate declines rapidly.

Equation for photosynthesis reaction:

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) = C6H12O6 + 6O2

Suppose we replace the mass in the video with one that is four times heavier. How far from the free end must we place the pivot
Llana [10]

We must place the pivot to keep the meter stick in balance at 90 cm (10 cm from the weight) from the free end.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In initial stage, the meter stick’s mass and mass hanged in meter stick at one end are same. Refer figure 1, the mater stick’s weight acts at the stick’s mid-point.

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

                  m \times g \times(x)+((m \times g)(x-50 \mathrm{cm}))=0

                  (m \times g \times x)-(50 \times m \times g)+(m \times g \times x)=0

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

                  2 x-50=0

                  2 x=50

                  x=\frac{50}{2}=25 \mathrm{cm}

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

                 x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-25 \mathrm{cm}=75 \mathrm{cm}

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 75 cm at the free end

Now, replace mass with another mass. i.e., four times the initial mass (as given)

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

                   4 m g(x)+(m g)(x-50 c m)=0

                   4 m g x+m g x-50 m g=0

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

                   5 x=50

                   x=\frac{50}{5}=10 \mathrm{cm}

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

                   x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-10 \mathrm{cm}=10 \mathrm{cm}

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 10 cm from the free end.

Therefore, the option B is correct 90 cm (10 cm from the weight).

A monoatomic ideal gas undergoes an isothermal expansion at 300 K, as the volume increased from 0.010 m^3 to 0.040 m^3. The fina
Natali [406]

Answer:

A) 0.0 kJ

Explanation:

Change in the internal energy of the gas is a state function

which means it will not depends on the process but it will depends on the initial and final state

Also we know that internal energy is a function of temperature only

so here the process is given as isothermal process in which temperature will remain constant always

here we know that

\Delta U = \frac{3}{2}nR\Delta T

now for isothermal process since temperature change is zero

so change in internal energy must be ZERO

a box weighing 155 N is pushed horizontally down the hall at constant velocity. the applied force is 83 n what is the coefficien
meriva

Answer:

μ = 0.535

Explanation:

On a level floor, normal force = weight.

N = W

Friction force = normal force × coefficient of friction.

F = Nμ

Substitute:

F = Wμ

83 = 155μ

μ = 0.535

Round as needed.
