Answer:

1. Molecular cloud

2. Close binary

3. Brown dwarf

4. Protostellar wind

5. Thermal pressure

6. Protostellar disk

7. Jet

8. Degeneracy pressure

Explanation:

1. The Sun formed, probably along with other stars, within a large molecular cloud.

2. A Close binary consists of two stars that orbit each other every few days.

3. A Brown dwarf is a "star" so small in mass that its core never gets hot enough to sustain nuclear fusion reactions.

4. Most of the gas remaining from the process of star formation is swept into interstellar space by a protostellar wind.

5. As a protostar's internal temperature increases, its growing thermal pressure helps slow its contraction due to gravity.

6. Planets may form within the protostellar disk that surrounds a forming star.

7. Mass can be lost through a jet of material ejected along a protostar's axis of rotation.

8. A "star" with mass below 0.08 solar mass has its gravitational contraction halted by degeneracy pressure.

Changing the direction of current will or will not affect the strength of an electromagnet

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

he polarity of the electromagnet is determined by the direction the current. The north pole of the electromagnet is determined by using your right hand. Wrap your fingers around the coil in the same direction as the current is flowing (conventional current flows from + to -).

Four identical particles of mass 0.980 kg each are placed at the vertices of a 4.14 m x 4.14 m square and held there by four mas

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a) The rotational inertia when it passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square is 16.8 kg m²

b) I = 50.39 kg m²

c) I = 16.8 kg m²

Explanation:

a) Given data:

m = 0.98 kg

a = 4.14 * 4.14

The moment of inertia is:

$I=mr^{2} \\r=\frac{a}{2} \\I=m(a/2)^{2} \\I=\frac{ma^{2} }{4}$

For 4 particles:

$I=4(\frac{ma^{2} }{4} )=ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}$

b) Distance from top left mass = x = a/2

Distance from bottom left mass = x = a/2

Distance from top right mass = x = √5 (a/2)

The total moment of inertia is:

$I=m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2} +m(\frac{a}{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}+m(\frac{\sqrt{5a} }{2} )^{2}=\frac{12ma^{2} }{4} =3ma^{2} =3*0.98*(4.14)^{2} =50.39kgm^{2}$

$I=2m(\frac{m}{\sqrt{2} } )^{2} =ma^{2} =0.98*(4.14)^{2} =16.8kgm^{2}$

( Image is 6 C carbon with the numbers 12.011 under it ) According to the image, the atomic mass of carbon is 12.011. How is the

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.
