Molecular clouds range in mass from a few times the mass of our Sun (solar masses) to 10 million solar masses. Individual stars

range from 0.08 to about 150 solar masses. What does all of this imply about how stars form from molecular clouds

Answer:

Explained in Depth.

Explanation:

It is all matter of what kind of stars are we talking about, for simplicity let's say we are talking about normal stars such as our sun.

If there is a molecular cloud that has a mass that is slightly larger than our sun then it is possible that the gravity will eventually pull together cloud into a sphere that would have enough mass to start nuclear fusion which is important to become a star.

Mass of such cloud would be 1.98x10^30Kg almost equal to the sun's mass.

All of this implies that stars are formed when there is enough mass to let gravity pull it all together into a sphere that has enough gravitational pull to start nuclear fusion inside the core.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².

For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².

For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².

For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².

If we say k is the coefficient in each case:

mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²

For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:

mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²

gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²

2gh = (k + 1) v²

v² = 2gh / (k + 1)

The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity.  Therefore:

marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring

HEY CAN ANYONE ANSWER DIS RQ!!!!!!
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Density is the mass to volume ratio of an object.

> It tells you how compact the mass is.

> Density = mass/volume

The density of water is 1 g/ml or 1 kg/L or 1000 kg/m3

• If an object has a density less than that of water, it

will float.

• If an object has a density more than that of water, it

will sink

Explanation:

hope this helps some

A merry go round (mass of 200kg and radius 5m) is rotating so that the outside edge is moving 10m/s. A giant bug of 6kd at a dis
romanna [79]

Answer:

2 rad/s

Explanation:

For a rotating object, the linear velocity is given by

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular velocity and r is the radius.

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}

The edge has a linear velocity of 10 m/s and the radius at the edge is 5 m.

\omega=\dfrac{10 \text{ m/s}}{5 \text{ m}} = 2 \text{ rad/s}

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

vf = √(vi²+2*(F/m)*D)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the particle: M

Initial speed of the particle: vi

Force: F

Distance: D

We can apply the formula

F = M*a   ⇒    a = F/m

then we use the equation

vf = √(vi²+2*a*D)

⇒  vf = √(vi²+2*(F/m)*D)
