Explain why the life cycle of a star can be compared to the life style of a human

1 answer:

6 0

A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.

Julianne went to a restaurant to have a taste of her favorite fried chicken and spaghetti. She drove 2 km, east and then 8.5 km,

GREYUIT [131]

Julianne’s displacement from her origin is equal to 10.015 kilometers.

Given the following data:

Distance A = 2 km, East.

Distance B = 8.5 km, Northeast.

To calculate Julianne’s displacement from her origin:

<h3>How to calculate displacement.</h3>

We would denote the two (2) unit vectors along the East and Northeast directions by i and j respectively.

Note: Northeast is at angle of 45° with the East.

In terms of vectors, the distances becomes:

Distance A = 2i

$Distance\;B=8.5 [(cos 45i + sin 45j)]\\\\Distance\;B=(\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } i \;+\;\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } j)$

For the resultant displacement:

$D^2 = [(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2\\\\D =\sqrt{[(2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2+ (\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } )^2} \\\\D=2+\frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} } + \frac{8.5}{\sqrt{2} }$

D = 10.015 kilometers.

Two objects of same material are travelling near you. Object A is a 1.1 kg mass traveling 10.2 m/s; object B is a 2 kg mass trav

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Object A

Explanation:

The object that would make you feel worse if you're hit by it is the object possessing the highest momentum. Thus, we need to find the momentum of the two objects.

Momentum of an object is the product of its mass and that of it's velocity. Momentum is given by the formula

P = M * V, where

P = momentum

M = mass of the object

V = velocity of the object

Now, solving for object A, we have

P(a) = 1.1 * 10.2

P(a) = 11.22 kgm/s

And then, solving for object B, we have

P(b) = 2 * 5

P(b) = 10 kgm/s

The object when the highest momentum is object A, and thus would make you feel worse when hit by it

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

$intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2$

increase the intensity by factor of 9

I₁ = I₀

I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

$\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}$

$\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2$

$(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

How many neutrons does element x have if it’s atomic number is 40 and it’s mass number is 82?

Black_prince [1.1K]

The atomic number gives you the number of protons element x has. Since the mass of protons and neutrons are almost similar(around 1 amu), the mass number can be thought of as the sum of protons and neutrons. so if element x whose atomic number is 40 has a mass number of 82, then we know that 42 of those must be neutrons.
