Explanation:

The quantity at which the speed of formation of the star depends is called the "star formation rate".
Astronomers estimate that in our Galaxy the star formation rate is about 3 solar masses per year
According to "solar mass per year" the mass of interstellar gas and dust related to about 3 times the mass of the Sun goes into stars each year).
However, the whole of the mass doesn't necessarily go in the formation of 1 star.

During an eclipse the sun the earth and the moon act as a light source,an obstacle or screen=

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Un eclipse solar se produce cuando la luna se interpone en el camino de la luz del sol y proyecta su sombra en la Tierra. Eso significa que durante el día, la luna se mueve por delante del sol y se pone oscuro. ... Este eclipse total se produce aproximadamente cada año y medio en algún lugar de la Tierra.

Explain how mirrors can produce images that are larger or smaller than life size, as well as upright or inverted

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1) When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

2) When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

3) When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror

Explanation:

The position of an object in front of a concave mirror of radius of curvature, R, determines the size and orientation of the image of the object as illustrated in the mirror equation

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{d_{o}} + \dfrac{1}{d_{i}}$

$Magnification, \, m = \dfrac{h_{i}}{h_{o}} = -\dfrac{d_{i}}{d_{o}}$

Where:

f = Focal length of the mirror = R/2

$d_{i}$ = Image distance from the mirror

$d_{o}$ = Object distance from the mirror

$h_{i}$ = Image height

$h_{o}$ = Object height

$d_{o}$ is positive for an object placed in front of the mirror and negative for an object placed behind the mirror

$d_{i}$ is positive for an image formed in front of the mirror and negative for an image formed behind the mirror

m is positive when the orientation of the image and the object is the same

m is negative when the orientation of the image and the object is inverted

f and R are positive in the situation where the center of curvature is located in front of the mirror (concave mirrors) and f and R are negative in the situation where the center of curvature is located behind the mirror (convex mirrors)

∴ When $d_{o}$ < $d_{i}$ (hence $d_{o}$ < f ) and they are both in front of the mirror (positive), the image will be larger and inverted

When $d_{o}$ > $d_{i}$ (and $d_{o}$ < f ) such that they are both positive (in front of the mirror), the image will be smaller and inverted

When the image is behind the mirror, for convex mirrors and the object is in front the image will be uptight. The magnification of the image will be the ratio of the image distance to the object distance from the mirror.

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

Kipish [7]

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35 J

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.

What is centripetal force?

daser333 [38]

The centripetal force is force acting on a body in circular motion. In circular motion, velocity is always on tangent and if we took 2 different positions on a circle, the change on velocity is a vector pointing in the middle of circle. In circular motion velocity is constant, and acceleration lies on radius of circle pointing to te middle. This acceleration is called centripetal acceleration, and the force is centripetal.
