True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

What is the purpose of the magnetic field in a cathode ray tube?
andre [41]

Answer:

In order to determine if the cathode ray consisted of charged particles, Thomson used magnets and charged plates to deflect the cathode ray. He observed that cathode rays were deflected by a magnetic field in the same manner as a wire carrying an electric current, which was known to be negatively charged.

Waxed paper and frosted glass are examples of materials that are transparent.
GREYUIT [131]
Waxed paper and frosted glass are NOT examples of transparent materials they are however translucent materials. A transparent material is something that you can see through so an example would be water.

A mystery element has three isotopes of the following masses and percent abundances: 93.597 amu at 23.63 % abundance, 96.191 amu
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

92.397amu

Explanation: The exact amu of the mystery element is obtained by multiplying the relative abundance of each individual isotope by  its respective amu and then summing the results.

The sum of the total relative abundance for all the isotopes should be 100%.

However, the relative abundance of the isotope with 95.502amu is not given; therefore to obtain it we subtract the sum of the known relative abundances from 100% as follows:

Relative abundance of isotope with 95.502amu = 100-(23.63+30.53) = 42.84%

What is the weight of an object (mass = 60 kilograms) on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.75 meters/second2?. Se
UNO [17]
The weight (W) of an object is the product of its mass (m) and the acceleration (a). That is,
                                    W = m x a
Substituting the known values give,
                                W = (60 kg) x (3.75 m/s²) = 225 N
Thus, the object's weight is 225 N. The answer is letter D.
