The dependence of planetesimal composition on distance from the Sun and the existence of the frost line resulted in two main types of planets in our Solar System: the inner rocky planets and the outer gas giants. The gas giants are observed to be made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Given this observation and what you have learned about planetesimal formation through accretion, and the types of materials that condensed at that distance from the Sun, which of the following is the most likely way that the gas giants formed?
A. They must have formed elsewhere and been captured by the Sun's gravity because hydrogen and helium could not condense into a solid at the temperature of the Solar Nebula.
B. Hydrogen and helium condensed into a solid and accreted to form the gas giants.
C. Rock, metal, and ices made of materials like water, ammonia, and methane condensed into a solid and grew large enough to gravitationally attract hydrogen and helium gas from the Solar Nebula.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!
