Question
Which of the following are least reasonable regarding the chemical composition of our solar system?
Group of answer choices
Hydrogen and helium are the two most abundant elements in our solar system.
There is a lot of iron on Earth but none in the Sun.
There is relatively little hydrogen in the Earth's atmosphere because Earth's gravity is not strong enough to hold on to it.
There is a lot of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere due to the activity of photosynthetic organisms.
Oxygen is the most abundant element on Earth, followed by silicon.

- Four tiny spheres are fastened to the ends of two rods of negligible mass lying in the xy plane to form an unusual baton (as shown). We shall assume the radii of the spheres are small compared with the dimensions of the rods. (A) If the system rotates about the y axis (10.19a) with an angular speed ω, find the moment of inertia and the rotational kinetic energy of the system about this axis. (B) Suppose the system rotates in the xy plane about an axis (the z axis) through the center of the baton (10.19b). Calculate the moment of inertia and rotational kinetic energy about this axis.arrow_forwardTypes of heating explained proper step by steparrow_forward
