Everyone respond to (a). If you choose not to upload a screen capture of your highest score, also do part (b), where you would be supplying your simulation results in text form:
a) What happens when you place a brown dwarf or dwarf star in your solar system?
b) For your highest score run, report your end score, the time your simulation ran, and how many/what size planets you used.
When putting into the brown dwarf caused the gravitational pull increased. Due to the properties of the star, the brown dwarf gravitated towards the giant planet. Regardless of the masses of the planets differentiating, the brown dwarfs’ properties increased the gravitational pull to the sun and giant planet. The planets did not touch until 1042 years and my end score was 2,200,305. I only implanted the brown dwarf star and the giant planet, because whenever I would attempt to increase the gravitational pull, the planets would burst out of the solar system.
Where is the 'snow line' of our Solar System located? Between Mars and Jupiter The Virial theorem quantifies the balance between ____ and ____ energies in terms of predicting when a molecular cloud will begin to collapse to make a star. gravitational and thermal The numerous craters we see on the solid surfaces of so many Solar System bodies are evidence that: they were bombarded in their youth by many solid objects. Arrange the following in order of increasing density: interstellar medium, molecular clouds, stars, neutron stars, black holes Which of the following is the least significant process in the disk around the star where planets form? Nuclear fusion Sequence the following important processes of planetary formation. Note you need to choose the one that lists them in the right order , starting with the earliest. chemical condensation, snowflake accretion, collisional accretion, gravitational collapse Short-lived isotopes in the early Solar System allow us to date the relative timescales of early processes, like when different types of materials condensed (which helps us refine our models of Solar System formation). Which of the following is not a short-lived isotope? Note that we can write the short-lived isotope carbon 14
as either 14 C or C-14. The latter notation is used below because Canvas is not permitting superscripts in the answer fields.
One credible explanation for why the planets near the Sun are composed mainly of rock and iron is that: the high temperatures in the inner part of the Solar System prevented ices and gases from condensing near the sun
