After the collapse of a nebular cloud, atoms begin gravitating together to form a condensed center. What happens next in the sta

Well, first of all, I don't think "After the collapse of a nebular cloud ..."
is the first time that "atoms begin gravitating together".  Seems to me like
that's what was going on all the time, and it's what caused the nebular cloud
to collapse in the first place.

In any case, once the pressure and temperature at the center get high enough,
you get "ignition" of nuclear fusion, and that's when you first have a "star".

Answer:

The core of the star is ignited.

Explanation:

Through the acummulation of mass caused by gravitation, the protostar becomes heavier and heavier until the pressure in its center, the core, is enough to initiate thermonuclear reactions. This reactions will be the source of the energy of the star during its entire life, as long as it shines.

The amount of mass needed for the protostar to ignite its core is known as stellar mass.

What mechanism is most responsible for generating the internal heat of Io that drives its volcanic activity?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Tidal heating

Explanation:

Tidal force is the ability of a massive body to produce tides on another body. The tidal force depends on the mass of the body that produces the tides and the distance between the two bodies.

Tidal forces can cause the destruction of a satellite that orbits a planet or a comet that is too close to the Sun or a planet. When the orbiting body crosses the "Roche boundary", the tidal forces along the body are more intense than the cohesion forces that hold the body together.

Tidal friction is the force between the Earth's oceans and ocean floors caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The Earth tries to transport the waters of the oceans with it, while the Moon tries to keep them under it and on the opposite side of the Earth. In the long term, tidal friction causes the Earth's rotation speed to decrease, thus shortening the day. In turn, the Moon increases its angular momentum and gradually spirals away from Earth. Finally, when the day equals the orbital period of the Moon (which will be about 40 times the length of the current day), the process will cease. Subsequently, a new process will begin when the power to raise tides from the Sun takes angular momentum from the Earth-Moon system. The Moon will then spiral towards Earth until it is destroyed when it enters the "Roche boundary."

<u>Tidal heating </u>

It is the warming caused by the tidal action on a planet or satellite. The most important example of tidal heating in the Solar System is the effect of Jupiter on its Io satellite, in which the tidal effects produce such high temperatures that the interior of the satellite melts, producing volcanism.

At what rate is soda being sucked out of a cylindrical glass that is 6 in tall and has radius of 2 in? The depth of the soda dec
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out=  3.14 inch³/sec

A bicyclist is travelling at 25 m/s when he begins to decelerate at -4m/s2 . How fast is travelling after 5 seconds
Umnica [9.8K]

Initial velocity (Vi) = 25 m/s

acceleration (a) = -4 m/s^{2}

time interval (t) = 5 sec

let us assume that final velocity after 5 sec be Vf

As acceleration is constant, we can apply the the equation of motion with constant acceleration i.e. V_{f} = V_{i} + at

Hence, V_{f} = 25 +(-4)(5) = 25 -20 = 5 m/s

so, the velocity of bicyclist will be 5 m/s after 5 sec

If the potential difference across a 12-ohm resistor is 6 volts, the current through the resistor is?
larisa86 [58]
Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor and directly to the potential difference across it.

A motor keep a Ferris wheel (with moment of inertia 6.97 × 107 kg · m2 ) rotating at 8.5 rev/hr. When the motor is turned off, t
Talja [164]

Answer:

P = 133.13 Watt

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the ferris wheel is given as

\omega_i = 2\pi f

\omega_i = 2\pi(8.5/3600)

\omega_i = 0.015 rad/s

final angular speed after friction is given as

\omega_f = 2\pi f

\omega_f = 2\pi(7.5/3600)

\omega_f = 0.013 rad/s

now angular acceleration is given as

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}

\alpha = \frac{0.015 - 0.013}{15}

\alpha = 1.27 \times 10^{-4} rad/s^2

now torque due to friction on the wheel is given as

\tau = I \alpha

\tau = (6.97 \times 10^7)(1.27 \times 10^{-4})

\tau = 8875.3 N m

Now the power required to rotate it with initial given speed is

P = \tau \omega

P = 8875.3 \times 0.015

P = 133.13 Watt
