Answer:

B. contain hydrogen

C. clouds of gas and dust

E. needed to create a star

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

Some of the examples of stars are; Vega, Sun (closest to planet Earth), Antares, Betelgeus, Canopus, etc.

Stars are typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He). The chronological order in which the formation of a star occur are;

1. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form dense cores.

2. A protostar forms as mass increases.

3. Nuclear fusion begins under high pressure.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.35 kg to a friend standing in front of him
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

a) u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}       &        m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta

b) v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}

c) p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the book, m_b=1.35\ kg

combined mass of the student and the skateboard, m_c=97\ kg

initial velocity of the book, v_b=4.61\ m.s^{-1}

angle of projection of the book from the horizontal, \theta=28^{\circ}

a)

velocity of the student before throwing the book:

Since the student is initially at rest and no net force acts on the student so it remains in rest according to the Newton's first law of motion.

u_c=0\ m.s^{-1}

where:

u_c= initial velocity of the student

velocity of the student after throwing the book:

Since the student applies a force on the book while throwing it and the student standing on the skate will an elastic collision like situation on throwing the book.

m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta

where:

v_c= final velcotiy of the student after throwing the book

b)

m_c.v_c=m_b.v_b\times \cos\theta

97\times v_c=1.35\times 4.61\cos28

v_c=0.0566\ m.s^{-1}

c)

Since there is no movement of the student in the vertical direction, so the total momentum transfer to the earth will be equal to the momentum of the book in vertical direction.

p_e=m_b.v_b\sin\theta

p_e=1.35\times 4.61\times \sin28^{\circ}

p_e=2.9218\ kg.m.s^{-1}

Why is accelration negative when velocity is positive.​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

An object which moves in the positive direction has a positive velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
