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.

What is the equation for momentum? Please help need answer ASAP.

Leona [35]

Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.

How fast (in rpm) must a centrifuge rotate if a particle 7.3 cm from the axis of rotation is to experience an acceleration of 1.

guajiro [1.7K]

The formula we use here is:

radial acceleration = ω^2 * R 

110,000 * 9.81 m/s^2 = ω^2 * 0.073 m
ω^2 = 110,000 * 9.81 / 0.073
ω = 3844.76 rad/s

and since: ω = 2pi*f --> f = ω/(2pi)
f = 3844.76 / (2pi) = 611.91 rps = 611.91 * 60 rpm
= 36,714.77 rpm

A circuit containing an inductor and a capacitor in series is designed to have a resonant frequency of 4511 Hz. If the inductor

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(e) $6.835\times 10^{-7}F$

Explanation:

At resonance we know that $X_l=X_C$

That is $\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega C}$

$\omega ^2=\frac{1}{LC}$

$\omega =\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}$

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$

We have given resonance frequency f =4511 Hz and inductance L=1.82 mH

So $4511=\frac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC}}$

$LC=\frac{1}{4\pi ^2\times 4511^2}$

$LC=1.244\times 10^{-9}$

$C=\frac{1.244\times 10^{-9}}{1.82\times 10^{-3}}=0.6835\times 10^{-6}=6.835\times 10^{-7}F$

So option e is the correct answer

In 1947 Thor Heyerdahl sailed a simple raft from Peru to Polynesia, following the ocean currents for more than 6,000 kilometers.

GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer of the given question above would be option C. In 1947 Thor Heyerdahl sailed a simple raft from Peru to Polynesia, following the ocean currents for more than 6,000 kilometers. This statement accurately describes what Heyerdahl proved by this voyage. It would have been possible for people from ancient Peru to reach Polynesia by following ocean currents.
