4 0

Answer: Option B) 1038J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of person (m) = 83kg

kinetic energy (KE) = ?

Speed of elevator (v) = 5m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) by which it moves

i.e K.E = 1/2mv²

KE = 1/2 x 83kg x (5m/s)²

KE = 0.5 x 83 x 25

KE = 1037.5J (Round the kinetic energy to the nearest whole number as 1038J)

Thus, the kinetic energy of the person is 1038 Joules

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:

<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>

<em></em>

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, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> 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 molecular cloud fragments as it collapses because Choose one: A. the interstellar wind is stronger in some places than others.
kondaur [170]

The cause for a molecular cloud forming fragments when it collapses is indicated correctly by option D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

Molecular cloud:

A molecular cloud, also known as a stellar nursery, is a specific kind of interstellar cloud, whose density and size allow the development of molecules, absorption nebulae, and H II regions. In contrast, some regions of the interstellar medium mostly consist of ionized gas.

Molecular clouds are cold, dense areas of space where stars form. The cloud collapses into a proto-star when the gravitational force pulling it in outweighs the internal pressure pushing it in.

When a molecular cloud collapses, it is observed that the density varies from place to place with the variation increasing with collapse. As a result, the collapse is characterized by fragmentation of the cloud.

Thus the correct option is: D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.
