Which statements about the formation of the solar system are true and in a correct order?

a.
a black hole collapsed to form the sun; small planetary objects formed; small planetary objects collided with each other to form larger objects.

b.
most of the dust and gas contracted into a central mass—the sun; half the mass of the cloud condensed to form jupiter; asteroids and comets crashed into the sun to form the smaller planets.

c.
a spinning cloud of dust began to compress to form the sun; small planetary objects formed; hydrogen and helium became concentrated in the outer solar system to form the outer planets.

d.
gravitational force held the newly formed planets around the sun; small planetary objects formed; hydrogen and helium became concentrated in the outer solar system to form the outer planets.

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Two students, each riding bicycles, start from the same apartment building and ride to the same building on campus, but each takes a different route. the first student rides 1100 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before arriving at the destination. the second student heads due north for 1930 m and then turns and heads directly toward the destination.at the turning point, how far is the second student from the destination?
