Diffinition of nebula

nebulae, nebulæ, or nebulas) is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Originally, nebula was a name for any diffuse astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way. The Andromeda Galaxy, for instance, was once referred to as the Andromeda Nebula (and spiral galaxies in general as "spiral nebulae") before the true nature of galaxies was confirmed in the early 20th century by Vesto Slipher, Edwin Hubble and others.

Most nebulae are of vast size, even hundreds of light years in diameter.[3] Although denser than the space surrounding them, most nebulae are far less dense than any vacuum created on Earth – a nebular cloud the size of the Earth would have a total mass of only a few kilograms. Many nebulae are visible due to their fluorescence caused by the embedded hot stars, while others are so diffuse they can only be detected with long exposures and special filters. Some nebulae, are variably illuminated by T Tauri variable stars. Nebulae are often star-forming regions, such as in the "Pillars of Creation" in the Eagle Nebula. In these regions the formations of gas, dust, and other materials "clump" together to form denser regions, which attract further matter, and eventually will become dense enough to form stars. The remaining material is then believed to form planets and other planetary system objects.

The range of objects called nebula are very diverse, have diverse origins, and final ends.

*How much energy is<br>transferred in lifting a 5 kg<br>Mass 3m​
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

147 J

Explanation:

The energy transferred to potential energy is :

U = m * g * h = (5 kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) * (3 m) = 147 J

The boiling point of water is 91.30 °C on the
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

196.34 °F

Explanation:

To convert from degrees celsius to degrees fahrenheit, use this equation:

(°C * 9/5) + 32 = °F

So, using this equation:

(91.30 * 9/5) + 32 = °F

196.34 + 32 = °F

°F = 196.34

Hope this helps!

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away

In an experiment in space, one proton is held fixed and another proton is released from rest a distance of 1.00 mm away. part a
mihalych1998 [28]
<span>We can use Coulomb's law to find the force F acting on the proton that is released. F = k x Q1 x Q2 / r^2 k = 9 x 10^9 Q1 is the charge on one proton which is 1.6 x 10^{-19} C Q2 is the same charge on the other proton r is the distance between the protons F = (9x10^9) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) / (10^{-3})^2 F = 2.304 x 10^{-22} N We can use the force to find the acceleration. F = ma a = F / m a = (2.304 x 10^{-22} N) / (1.67 x 10^{-27} kg) a = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2 The initial acceleration of the proton is 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2</span>
