Atoms begin to gravitate together to form a center
geniusboy [140]3 years ago

Answer: A)Atoms begin to gravitate together to form a center.

Explanation:

A nebula is a stellar nursery where stars are born. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gases. The disk starts swirling and atoms begin to gravitate and come together. A center is formed. This center forms the core. When enough mass is gathered to generate accurate temperature and pressure, nuclear fusion reaction kicks in to produce heat and light and a star is born.

A car traveled 112.0m in 24.500s, what was a car’s average speed?
kodGreya [7K]

Average speed of the car is 4.57 m/s

Explanation:

  • Speed is calculated by the rate of change of displacement.
  • It is given by the formula, Speed = Distance/Time
  • Here, distance = 112 m and time = 24.5 s

Speed of the car = 112/24.5 = 4.57 m/s

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms
