Describe how gravity aids in the formation of stars

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]4 years ago
6 0
Gravity is the force of attraction between objects. Gravity is that force of attraction that will cause hydrogen gas in a nebula to clump together overtime. These hydrogen atoms will form a spinning cloud of gas within the nebula.
As collisions between the atoms become more frequent, the temperature within the cloud will rise.
As the cloud gets more massive the greater the force of gravity will be and so it will attract even more gas to the spinning cloud. When the temperature reaches fifteen million degrees Celsius, nuclear fission begins and a star is born.

Match each scientist with the contribution he made to the arrangement of elements in the periodic table
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
  • Dmitri Mendeleev- arranged elements according to their

atomic mass

  • Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner-created groups of three elements,

each based on similar properties

  • John Newlands-used patterns to predict undiscovered

elements

  • Antoine Lavoisier-divided elements into four categories

Explanation:

The periodic table or the table depicting the arrangement of various elements has a long history. Several of the scientist starting from Lavoisier to Mendeleev contributed to the table in their might. The present table has been an evolution of the previous tables over their shortcomings.

Some of the notable contributions include-

  • Mendeleev- Mendeleev arranged the elements in order of atomic mass rather than atomic mass. Through this, he also discovered new elements.
  • Newlands- He formulated the Newland law of octaves similar to musical notation.
  • Lavoisier- Lavoisier divided the elements into various categories and also defined elements.
  • Dobereiner- He formulated the triad law which encapsulated that certain group of elements showed similar properties, hence can be grouped together.

Why do we feel cool when we spray perfume in our body​
KiRa [710]
Because the perfume is sprayed as a fine mist. This exposes a lot of its surface area to air, causing it to evaporate quickly. That makes us feel cooler.

An ac generator provides emf to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory a step-
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a) 1.875 volts

b) 5.86 W

Explanation:

Given data:

transmission line resistance = 0.30/cable

power of the generator = 250 kW

if Vt = 80 kV

<u>a) Determine the decrease V along the transmission line </u>

Rms current in cable = P / Vt = 250 / 80 = 3.125 amps

hence the rms voltage drop ( Δrmsvoltage )

Δrmsvoltage = Irms* R  = 3.125 * 2 * 0.30 =<em> 1.875 volts </em>

<u>b) Determine the rate Pd at which energy is dissipated in line as thermal energy </u>

Pd = I^2rms*R

    =  3.125^2 * 2* 0.30  = <em>5.86 W</em>

Sound waves in air travel at approximately 330m/s. Calculate the frequency of a 2.5m-long sound wave.
dusya [7]
Frequency = speed ÷ wavelength
= 330m/s ÷ 2.5m
= 132 Hz
