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.

A train moving with a velocity of 42.9 km/hour North, increases its speed with a uniform acceleration of 0.250 m/s^2 North until

ankoles [38]

Answer:

3658.24m

Explanation:

Hello!

the first thing that we must be clear about is that the train moves with constant acceleration

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

$\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X$

Vf = final speed =160km/h=44.4m/s

Vo = Initial speed =42.9km/h=11.92m/s

A = acceleration =0.25m/s^2

X = displacement

solving

$\frac {44.4^{2}-11.92^2}{2.(0.25)} =X\\X=3658.24m$

the distance traveled by the train is 3658.24m

Suppose you wish to construct a motor that produces a maximum torque whose magnitude is 1.7 × 10-2 N·m. The coil of the motor ha

Len [333]

Answer:

86 turns

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic torque, τ = 1.7 * 10^(-2) Nm

Area of coil, A = 9 * 10^(-4) m²

Current in coil, I = 1.1 A

Magnetic field, B = 0.2 T

The magnetic toque is given mathematically as:

τ = N * I * A * B

Where N = number of turns

To find the number of turns, we make N subject of formula:

N = τ/(I * A * B)

Therefore:

N = (1.7 * 10^(-2)) / (1.1 * 9 * 10^(-4) * 0.2)

N = 85.85 = 86 turns (whole number)

The number of turns must be 86.

4) A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

A football player starts at the 40-yard line, and runs to the 25-yard line in 2 seconds.

Suppose, the distance between 40 yard line and 25 yard line is 20 yard.

(a). We need to calculate their speed during that run

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where. d = distance

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{18.288}{2}$

$v=10\ m/s$ during that run

(b). We need to calculate their velocity

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{22.86-36.58}{2}$

$v=-6.86\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion.

(c). If they kept running at that velocity for another 1.3 seconds,

We need to calculate the final position

Using formula of position

$d=vt$

Put the value into the formula

$d=6.86\times1.3$

$d=8.91\ m$

Hence, (a). Their speed during that run is 10 m/s.

(b). Their velocity is 6.86 m/s

(c). The final position is at 8.91 m.

Using the results of Question 1 that would apply if the collision were inelastic, compute (using Excel in the yellow highlighted

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The fractional kinetic energy will be lost if the collision is inelastic. In inelastic collision, the kinetic energy is converted into other forms of energy.

The lost energy became heat and sound energy.

Explanation:

During inelastic collision, the kinetic energy of a moving object does not conserve. It changes into another form of energy such as sound energy and heat energy etc.

For example, when a moving car hit another car or wall etc, the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy. This type of collision is inelastic collision.
