Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

        L₀ = I w₀

Final

       L_{f} = I_{f}  w_{f}

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I w₀ = I_{f}w_{f}

     w_{f}  = I /I_{f} w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed ​​changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above

Which statements describe a fully charged capacitor? Check all that apply.
Oksanka [162]
Well, first of all, there's no such thing as "fully charged" for a capacitor.

A capacitor has a "maximum working voltage", because of mechanical
or chemical reasons, just like a car has a maximum safe speed.  But
anywhere below that, cars and capacitors do their jobs just fine, without
any risk of failing.

So we have a capacitor that has some charge on it, and therefore some
voltage across it.  From the list of choices above . . .

<span>-- Both plates have the same amount of charge.
Yes.  And both plates have opposite TYPES of charge.
One plate is loaded with electrons and is negatively charged.
The other plate is missing electrons and is positively charged.

-- There is a potential difference between the plates.
Yes.  That's the "voltage" mentioned earlier.
It's a measure of how badly the extra electrons want to jump
from the negative plate to the positive plate.

-- Electric potential energy is stored.
Yes.  It's the energy that had to be put into the capacitor
to move electrons away from one plate and cram them
onto the other plate.

The angle of reflection is the angle the ____ to the reflecting surface.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The angle of reflection is the angle the reflected rays make with a perpendicular line to the reflecting surface.  

Explanation:

Reflection It is the change of direction suffered by a luminous ray when hitting the surface of an object. The angle of reflection is that which is formed by the reflected ray and the normal vector to the study surface
