Roofs are sometimes pushed off vertically during a tropical cyclone, and buildings sometimes explode outward when hit by a tornado. Use Bernoulli's principle to explain these phenomena.
Notes 9/28 Properties of the Solar System 1. There are 2 types of planets: a. Four terrestrial (rocky) b. Four Jovian (gas) 2. Orbits are coplanar, nearly circular, and in the same direction 3. Planets have a different composition from the sun (volatiles) a. Volatiles are substances easily destroyed by heat Catastrophe Hypothesis The sun formed by itself and then had a collision/close encounter with another star; the resulting debris created planets Not correct because: o Space is big and collision are rare (Maybe it was a fluke Still not possible because most stars like ours have Earth-like planets.) o Planets are made with different substances, including volatiles We believed because: o We did not know the size of the galaxy o We though stars were closer together o We did not know the composition of the sun (we first believed the sun and earth were made of the same stuff; i.e. dirt, iron, magnesium) Capture Hypothesis The sun formed by itself and captured passing planets Not correct because: o Space is too big; encounters are too rare o Orbits would be random or even backwards Oriented in all different planes; more elliptical o Capture is too difficult, physically. Escape velocity As the planet falls in toward the sun, it would achieve escape velocity (pick up too much speed) and move past
