The Solar System formed... from the collision between two galaxies.

from the merging of two smaller stars.

directly from the leftover gas of the big bang.

from the gravitational collapse of an interstellar cloud of gas.

Aball of mass 0.3kg is released from rest at a height of 8m.how fast is it going when it hits the ground? accleration due to gravity is g=9.8m/s

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
