What are hot clouds of gaseous elements and compounds that act as nurseries for stars

1 answer:

3 0

Interstellar gas clouds are common in many galaxy, like the Orion nebulae which many young stars are being born. A typical nebula is many light years in diameter and contains enough material mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consist of molecules of hydrogen and helium-but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements. All known element in our periodic table is also being made inside this crucible of this immense hot gas. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pull the gas molecules close together.

Every second, the Sun converts about 600 million tons of hydrogen into 596 million tons of helium. The remaining 4 million tons

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Converted to an amount of energy equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. ejected into space in a solar wind.

Explanation:

The 4 million tons of mass is converted to the amount of energy that is equal to 4 million tons times the speed of light squared. This energy moves from the sun with the help of solar winds and received by the planets present in the solar system. This solar energy moves in the form of solar radiation because there is no medium for propagation so that's why we can say that the mass is converted into energy that moves in the form of radiation in discrete packets.

The dome of a Van de Graaff generator receives a charge of 0.00011 C. The radius of the dome is 5.2 m. Find the strength of the

wel

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

K=8.98755×10^9Nm²/C²

Q=0.00011C

Radius of the sphere = 5.2m

g=9.8m/s²

1. The electric field inside a conductor is zero

εΦ=qenc

εEA=qenc

net charge qenc is the algebraic sum of all the enclosed positive and negative charges, and it can be positive, negative, or zero

This surface encloses no charge, and thus qenc=0. Gauss’ law.

Since it is inside the conductor

E=0N/C

2. Since the entire charge us inside the surface, then the electric field at a distance r (5.2m) away form the surface is given as

F=kq1/r²

F=kQ/r²

F=8.98755E9×0.00011/5.2²

F=36561.78N/C

The electric field at the surface of the conductor is 36561N/C

Since the charge is positive the it is outward field

3. Given that a test charge is at 12.6m away,

Then Electric field is given as,

E=kQ/r²

E=8.98755E9 ×0.00011/12.6²

E=6227.34N/C

Two electrons in a vacuum exert force of F = 3.8E-09 N on each other. They are then moved such that they are separated by x = 8.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

d = 1.20682E-31 m

Explanation:

F = 3.8E-09 N

where

m = Mass of electron = 9.109E−31 kilograms

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 m³/kgs²

x = Distance between them

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow 3.8E-09=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}$

For $F_n$

$F_n=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{(8.2x)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}$

Dividing the above equations we get

$\frac{F}{F_n}=\frac{G\frac{m^2}{x^2}}{G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F}{F_n}=67.24\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{F}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{3.8E-09}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=5.65E-11\ N$

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{Gm^2}{F}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{G}{F}}m\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{6.67E-11}{3.8E-09}}9.109E-31\\\Rightarrow x=1.20682E-31\ m$

d = 1.20682E-31 m

The concentration of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid is regulated by :

Liula [17]

Answer:

Kidney

Explanation:

One of the main function of the kidney is to maintain the homeostasis of sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body.

Aldosterone is a key steroid hormone that balances sodium and potassium ions in the blood and body fluid. Potassium and sodium ions generate electric impulse in the body which helps to perform different activities such as muscles flexing.

Kidney function for reabsorption and secretion, in which reabsorption of Na is done nd balances the sodium and potassium in the blood and body.
