The nebular theory states that star systems form by the gravitational collapse of a cloud of gas and dust that, to match observations, must flatten into a disk within which planets can form. why would this flattening occur? consider the law of conservation of angular momentum, which states that a quantity related to the size of an object (its moment of inertia) times the speed of rotation (angular speed) has to remain the same at all times as long as no outside forces act on that object. based on this law, if a collapsing cloud is isolated in space with no external forces, what must happen to it as its size decreases?

1. when conducting a test on what kind of music increases the growth of plants, all of the following would fail to meet to fair test standard except (1 point) using different kinds of plants. giving some plants more water than others. exposing the plants to different types of music. using nutrient-rich soil for one and lesser soil for others. 2. engineering uses scientific thinking to solve real-world problems. (1 point) true false 3. what does it mean to test a hypothesis? (1 point) pass a quiz on other scientists’ results analyze only the results from scientific sources not make assumptions about how an experiment will turn out see if the results of an experiment are what the scientist predicted
