Distillation

Explanation:

The name of the process used to refine oil into different products is called distillation. A refinery has huge distillation columns where is separated into its different fractions.

Distillation is a separation technique in which a mixture such as crude oil is separated into its fractions.
The components of the mixture must have an appreciable boiling point difference.
After distillation, oil is separated into difference components such as heavy oil, natural gas, kerosene, gasoline e.t.c.
The liquid with the least boiling point rises up in the column first and is collected.

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?

pychu [463]

The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.

What is nuclear fission? why is this process important to stars?

KIM [24]

Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. This process is important to stars because they get their energy from the nuclear fusion process

If an astronomer wants to find and identify as many stars as possible in a star cluster that has recently formed near the surfac

Andru [333]

Answer:

Infrared telescope and camera

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust, and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.

A 1.0-cm-tall object is 13 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 40 cm focal length.

kicyunya [14]

A) Image position: -19.3 cm

B) Image height: 1.5 cm, upright

Explanation:

In order to calculate the image position, we can use the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}$

where

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

In this problem, we have:

p = 13 cm (object distance)

f = 40 cm (focal length, positive for a converging lens)

So the image distance is

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{13}=-0.0519\\q=\frac{1}{-0.0519}=-19.3 cm$

The negative sign means that the image is virtual.

In order to calculate the image height, we use the magnification equation:

$\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

y' is the image height

y is the object height

In this problem, we have:

y = 1.0 cm (object height)

p = 13 cm

q = -19.3 cm

Therefore, the image heigth is

$y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(-19.3)(1.0)}{13}=1.5 cm$

And the positive sign means the image is upright.
