Answer:

nebulas and they are the cool clouds in which stars form

Explanation:

The stars are born by chance. Fragments of matter are gathered from the cool clouds of gas and dust that float in space, the so-called nebulas. These particles are added by gravitational attraction to form a large mass.

This conglomerate, due to the effect of gravity, contracts on itself and as a consequence increases in its center, density, pressure and heat. In this way, atoms move faster and collide with each other. Under these conditions, nuclear fusion reactions soon begin. When they start the star is born.

distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm.

Answer:

The speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is $3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$ .

Explanation:

We have,

(a) Wavelength emitted by light at distant galaxy is 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 nm. It can be seen that the wavelength of light reduces as it reaches Earth. It is called Red shift. As per Doppler's effect, we can say that the galaxy is receding from the Earth.

(b) Let v is the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth. It can be given by :

$v=c(\dfrac{\lambda'}{\lambda}-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6 }{434.1 }-1)\\\\v=3\times 10^8\times (\dfrac{438.6}{434.1}-1)\\\\v=0.0103\cdot3\cdot10^{8}\\\\v=3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$

So, the speed of the galaxy relative to the Earth is $3.09\times 10^6\ m/s$ .

What does this mathematical expression mean? D 1/T

At an amusement park, a roller coaster carrying nine homosexuals, moving at 18 m/s, jumps its track at a point that is 20 meters

It is the same if a white father and a white mother give birth to a black kid, so the mother accuses the father for having (let's say mating) with a black women.

In a game of egg-toss, you and a partner are throwing an egg back and forth trying not to break it. Given your knowledge of mome

F=dP/dt. So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force. So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop. If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

IN WHAT CONDITION DO SOUND ECHO

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The conditions necessary for hearing the echo. The distance between the sound source and the reflecting surface must not be less than 17 metres where the time period between hearing the original sound and its echo should not be less than 0.1 of a second.
