Which of the following explains why objects in our solar system are in a spinning motion?
A. The gravitational pull of the sun pushed objects into a spinning motion.
B. The massive size of the sun made all other objects in space spin fast.
C. Gravity pulled in new matter towards an already rotating nebula.
D. Gravity pushed away heavier matter towards the outside boundary of space objects.
I think it is A but I am not for sure
C is the answer, it was a slowly rotating nebula, and as it contracted, the spin increased in order to conserve angular momentum.
I agree with yours the other ones don't make a lot of sense
Ms. Sue can you please help me
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and explain how to arrive at the answer:
A. The gravitational pull of the sun pushed objects into a spinning motion.
This option suggests that the sun's gravitational pull is responsible for the spinning motion of objects in our solar system. While the sun's gravitational force does affect the motion of objects, it is not the primary reason for their spinning.
B. The massive size of the sun made all other objects in space spin fast.
This option proposes that the sun's large size causes all other objects to spin rapidly. However, the size of the sun does not directly dictate the spinning motion of other objects in the solar system.
C. Gravity pulled in new matter towards an already rotating nebula.
This option involves the idea of a rotating nebula pulling in new matter through gravity. While this process does play a role in the formation of celestial objects, it does not explain why objects in our solar system are in a spinning motion.
D. Gravity pushed away heavier matter towards the outside boundary of space objects.
This option suggests that gravity pushes heavier matter towards the outer boundaries of celestial objects, contributing to their spinning motion. However, gravity alone does not determine the spinning motion of objects.
Taking these explanations into consideration, the correct answer is C. Gravity pulled in new matter towards an already rotating nebula. As new matter is attracted to a rotating nebula due to gravitational forces, the conservation of angular momentum causes this matter to also rotate, leading to the spinning motion of objects in the solar system.
