What distinguishes a nebula and a star?

Physics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
4 0

What distinguishes a nebula and a star is that a nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in outer space, visible in the night sky either as an indistinct bright patch or as a dark silhouette against other luminous matter. And a star is a<span> type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.</span>

(1 point) A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour and 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position

Explanation:

Since the pilot is traveling at a constant speed of 635 mph, the total distance traveled can be easily found as follows:

1stleg: d_{1} = 1.5*635 = 952.5 mi\\2ndleg: d_{2} = 2*635 = 1270 mi

There was a 10 degrees deviation, so the angle between the trajectory of both legs is 170 degrees.

The distance we need to find is that from the start of the first leg to the end of the second leg, those three distances form a triangle and since the side we're interested in is opposite to the 170 degrees angle, we can determine its length by the law of cosines:

d_{3}^{2} =d_{1}^{2} + d_{2}^{2} -2*d_{1}*d_{2}*cos(170)\\d_{3}^{2} =952.5^{2} + 1270^{2} -2*952.5*1270*cos(170)\\d_{3}=2214.22mi

The pilot is 2214.22 miles from her starting position

Two identical closely spaced circular disks form a parallel-plate capacitor. Transferring 1.4×109 electrons from one disk to the
allsm [11]

Answer:

r = 6.5*10^-3 m

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to ask the diameters of the disk, if so, here's it

Given

Quantity of charge on electron, Q = 1.4*10^9

Electric field strength, e = 1.9*10^5

q = Q * 1.6*10^-19

q = 2.24*10^-10

E = q/ε(0)A, making A the subject of formula, we have

A = q / [E * ε(0)], where

ε(0) = 8.85*10^-12

A = 2.24*10^-10 / (1.9*10^5 * 8.85*10^-12)

A = 2.24*10^-10 / 1.6815*10^-6

A = 1.33*10^-4 m²

Remember A = πr²

1.33*10^-4 = 3.142 * r²

r² = 1.33*10^-4 / 3.142

r² = 4.23*10^-5

r = 6.5*10^-3 m

How are frequency, wavelength, and energy related? Choose all that apply.
marta [7]

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

h is Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is wavelength

Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. Also, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inverse.

If the frequency is high, the wavelength will be shorter.

Hence, the correct options are :

Higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.

Shorter wavelengths have lower energy.

Lower frequencies have lower energy.
