While we think that our planets formed through the process of core collapse, planets around other stars might or might not have formed from the process of disk instability. Which of the following would make disk instability MORE LIKELY to have occurred around a star? ---

A hotter disk of material

A more massive disk

A more massive star

A larger fraction of solid material in the disk

A previously formed planet

None of these would make disk instability more likely

Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 96% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. no light passes through the second sheet. what angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?

How can you improve the percent yield of copper in this lab? check all possible strategies that will you do so. measure reactants precisely. stir to the reaction take place. chill the reactants before combining them. wait patiently until the reaction completes. make sure to recover as much copper as possible.
