Are most main sequence stars larger or smaller than the sun?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: Main sequence stars fuse hydrogen atoms to form helium atoms in their cores. About 90 percent of the stars in the universe, including the sun, are main sequence stars. These stars can range from about a tenth of the mass of the sun to up to 200 times as massive.

Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.

(I) In a ballistic pendulum experiment, projectile 1 results in a maximum height h of the pendulum equal to 2.6 cm. A second pro

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

Explanation:

In the ballistic pendulum experiment, the speed (v) of the projectile is given by:

$v = \frac{m + M}{m} \cdot \sqrt{2gh}$

<em>where m: is the mass of the projectile, M: is the mass of the pendulum, g: is the gravitational constant and h: is the maximum height of the pendulum. </em>

To know how many times faster was the second projectile than the first, we need to take the ratio for the velocities for the projectiles 2 and 1:

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\frac{m_{2} + M}{m_{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{2}}}{\frac{m_{1} + M}{m_{1}} \cdot \sqrt{2gh_{1}}}$ (1)

<em>where m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively, and h₁ and h₂ are the maximum height reached by the pendulum by the projectiles 1 and 2, respectively. </em>

Since the projectile 1 has the same mass that the projectile 2, we can simplify equation (1):

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{h_{2}}}{\sqrt{h_{1}}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = \frac{\sqrt{5.2 cm}}{\sqrt{2.6 cm}}$

$\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}} = 1.41$

Therefore, the second projectile was 1.41 times faster than the first.

I hope it helps you!

in this model, the velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is A.) equal to B.) greater than C.) less than the velocity of the c

finlep [7]

<h2>1. Right answer: the velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is <u>greater than</u> the velocity of the craft at position 4. </h2>

This is due the gravity field of the planet (The Earth in this case) is used to accelerate the craft. This is true when in a specific point the direction of the movement of the craft is the same direction of the movement of the planet.

In this case the craft will be “catched” by the Earth’s gravitational field, making the craft to enter a circular orbit.

<h2>2. Right answer: At position 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of <u>the gravitational force between Earth and the spacecraft. </u></h2>

As explained in the prior answer, this is the exact and correct point where the trajectory of the spacecraft enters into a circular orbit because of the attraction due gravity of the Earth and therefore changes its direction.

<h2>3. Right answer: Position 3 represents <u>the orbital path or velocity of Earth </u></h2>

Being this the orbital path of the Earth and considering the trajectory of the craft, the condition of accelerating the craft is accomplished.

If the orbital path of the Earth were the opposite from the shown in the figure, the effect on the craft would be braking.

Note all of these is related to the <u>gravitational assistance. </u>

<u>Gravitational assistance</u> is the maneuver in which the energy of the gravitational field of a planet or satellite is used to obtain an acceleration or braking of the probe changing its trajectory.

This maneuver is also called <em>slingshot effect, swing-by</em> or <em>gravity assist</em>. It is a common technique in space for the outer Solar System missions , in order to save costs in the launch rocket and thrusters.

Drag each tile to the correct location.

The order of the location of each process in the carbon cycle are as follows;

<u>Ingestion → Decomposition → Fossilization → Combustion </u>

Reasons:

Ingestion; During the ingestion process, the products of the direct Sunlight and photosynthesis, which

are energy rich chemical substances are ingested by herbivores.

Decomposition; The plants and animals die and undergo decomposition.

Fossilization; A long period the decomposed plants and animals manifest

into hard petrified materials, with their parts transformed to fossils.

Combustion; The remains of plants and animals, subjected to heat and

pressure due to compression, as when as bacteria decomposition that

removes several other elements, leaving a carbon and hydrogen rich

sludge that can be processed into fuel used for combustion. The

combustion process produces carbon dioxide which restarts the cycle.
