Diffinition of nebula

Physics

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.

List 10 uses of metals​
algol [13]

Answer:

Shiny metals such as copper, silver, and gold are often used for decorative arts, jewelry, and coins.

Strong metals such as iron and metal alloys such as stainless steel are used to build structures, ships, and vehicles including cars, trains, and trucks.

Some metals have specific qualities that dictate their use. For example, copper is a good choice for wiring because it is particularly good at conducting electricity. Tungsten is used for the filaments of light bulbs because it glows white-hot without melting.

Nonmetals are plentiful and useful. These are among the most commonly used:

Oxygen, a gas, is absolutely essential to human life. Not only do we breathe it and use it for medical purposes, but we also use it as an important element in combustion.

Sulfur is valued for its medical properties and as an important ingredient in many chemical solutions. Sulfuric acid is an important tool for industry, used in batteries and manufacturing.

Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant. It is used to purify water for drinking and fill swimming pools.

A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
