According to the nebular theory, what is the explanation as to why the terrestrial planets formed in the inner solar system and the jovian planets formed in the outer solar system?
a. the denser terrestrial planets sank inward towards the sun through the nebular cloud, but the less dense jovian planets did not sink through the nebular cloud.
b. all of the planets formed at a large distance from the sun but the dense terrestrial planets experienced a larger pull of the sun's gravity and were drawn into orbits that are closer to the sun then the jovian planets.
c. ices condensed in the outer solar system and some icy planetesimals grew large enough to attract gas from the nebula, but only metals and rock condensed in the inner solar system.
d. all of the planets were initially about the same size but the planets closer to the sun have had much of their material evaporated because they are warmer than the outer planets.

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
