Write a CR for the solved problem. A example of one is attached as well. The problem about the ROCK is the example CR. The problem you ARE writing a CR for is 5x^2-8x=3. Instructions below.
For the CR's, claim you should answer the question of , do you get 2 real solutions, 1 real solution, or 2 complex solutions? For your reasoning you should explain how you know. Use the example attached to help you answer.
hints: that plus minus sign means there are two answers. If the number under the square root is positive, you have two real solutions. If the number is negative you have two complex solutions. If the number is 0 under the square root you have 1 real number solution.
Describe the Nebular Theory. Include A) what it is, B)what happened, and C) at least three lines of evidence to support it.

As long as an organism is alive, it keeps its carbon isotopes in balance with the atmosphere, but at soon as it dies, it stops taking up new 14C, and so the geologic clock starts. You found a shell buried in sedimentary layers, which has 6% of its original 14C left. Determine the age of the shell. Show your work.arrow_forward

- Problem 4. Physical Features of the Giant Planets: Volume and Density of Jupiter (Palen, et. al. 1st Ed. Chapter 8 Problem 57 ) Jupiter is an oblate (Links to an external site.) planet with an average radius of 69,900 km, compared to Earth’s average radius of 6,370 km. How many Earth volumes could fit inside Jupiter? Jupiter is 318 times as massive as the Earth. How does Jupiter’s density compare (Links to an external site.) to that of Earth?arrow_forwardThe time it takes for a cloud 106,000 AU in radius to collapse in "free-tall to form a new star is half the time it would take for an object to orbit the star on an extremely elliptical orbit with a semimajor axis of 53,000 AU (half the 106.000 AU radius). Part A Use Kepler's third law to find the collapse time, assuming the star has the same mass as the Sun. Express your answer in years to two significant figures.

Assume that it crashes into Earth at a speed of 30,000 meters per second (about 67,000 miles per hour). a. What is the total energy of the impact, in joules? (Hint: The kinetic energy formula tells us that the impact energy in joules will be 1 × m × v2, where 2 m is the comet’s mass in kilograms and v is its speed in meters per second.) b. A 1-megaton nuclear explosion releases about 4 × 1015 joules of energy. How many such nuclear bombs would it take to release as much energy as the comet impact? c.

- Kepler-444 is one of many stars with terrestrial planets that is over 10 billion a) What do you think the spectral type of Kepler-444 might be? b) How do stars of this spectral type end their lives? c) If evolution followed a similar course on a habitable pranet around a star similar to Kepler-444, it would be 5 billion years more advanced than we are. Let’s try to project our future and see what happens. In particular, suppose our civilization gets motivated enough to colonize another planet. Kepler indicates that most stars have potentially habitable (and colonizable) planets, so roughly how far away is the typical “nearest" planet? d) The New Horizons probe on its way to Pluto took 9 years to travel 30 AU. If we could send colony ships with the same average speed, roughly how long would it take to reach the typical nearest planet? уears old.arrow_forwardSuppose there were a planet in our Solar System orbiting at a distance of 0.5 AU from theSun, and having ten times the mass and four times the radius of Earth.

Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? Choose all that apply. If light from a star passes through an exoplanet's atmosphere, we can look at the absorption spectra to determine what elements & compounds are in the atmosphere. For a telescope, increasing fe will decrease the actual size of the image seen by the person looking through the telescope. In crown glass, the index of refraction for red light is 1.512 and for orange light it is 1.514. Thus in crown glass, red light is faster than orange light. If unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer, 50% will pass through. The glasses for nearsighted people create real images for them to see. The smaller the diameter of an optic is, the larger the minimum angle it can discern is.arrow_forward
