The materials that made up the solar nebula can be categorized into these four general types. Rank these materials from left to right based on the temperature at which each would condense into a solid, from highest to lowest. Note: For a substance that does not condense at all, rank it as very low temperature.

What  will be an ideal response?


Answer: Metals, rock, hydrogen compounds, hydrogen and helium gas

In fact, hydrogen and helium gas never condense into solid form under the conditions that exist in interstellar clouds such as the solar nebula. Continue on to Part C to see how the condensation temperatures of the other materials explain why different materials condensed in different regions of the young solar system.

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: A block slides down a frictionless inclined ramp and experiences no significant air resistance. If the ramp angle is 17.0° above the horizontal and the length of the surface of the ramp is 20.0 m, find the speed of the block as it reaches the bottom of the ramp, assuming it started sliding from rest at the top.
