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.

stepan [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

an object with a mass of 5kg is moving with an initial velocity of 20m/s.the object accelerates at a rate of 15m/s/s for 8s.what
Alinara [238K]

It doesn't matter what the object's initial velocity is, or how long
the acceleration lasts.  All that matters is the object's mass and
acceleration.

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) =

                (5kg) x (15 m/s²) =

                         75 kg-m/s² = <em>75 newtons .</em>
