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 500 N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. 10000N

Explanation:

When a force (F_1) is exerted on the smaller area piston (A_1), the pressure that originates therein is transmitted to the larger area piston(A_2). According to Pascal's principle the pressure on the smallest piston (P_1=\frac{F_1}{A_1}) will be equal to the pressure on the largest piston (P_2=\frac{F_2}{A_2}):

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\F_2=F_1\frac{A_2}{A_1}\\F_2=500N\frac{40cm}{2cm}\\F_2=10000N

A giant star has a luminosity of 300 its color is most likely to be
amm1812
<span>The correct answer is blue. If you look at a luminosity star chart, called the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram, you will see the measurement of luminosity on the left side, and you will see a curve of stars with different colors (which correlate to the colors of the stars). Look for 30 on the luminosity measurement (look between 1 and 100). Then, move horizontally across the diagram until you hit the stars, whose color will be blue. Thus, blue is the answer.</span>

The diagram below represents the rock cycle.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

C. Heat and Pressure

Explanation:

The arrow which is labeled A points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock.

There are three types of Rocks:

1. Igneous Rock

2. Metamorphic Rock

3. Sedimentary Rock

Rock cycle:

Rock cycle is the process that describes the transition between these three types of rocks. Each type has its own form and its own equilibrium condition. The rock type alters when it is pushed out of its equilibrium conditions.

Transition of Igneous rock to Metamorphic rock:

Igneous rock forms when magma cools down. The transition of Igneous Rock to Metamorphic Rock is a result of a process called Metamorphism. Metamorphism is the alteration in the structure of rock as a result of certain heat and pressure conditions. Inside Earth heat comes from pressure. Heat with pressure does not melt the rock but it bakes the rock. Baking is not melting but it changes the shape of the rock while it is still solid. It actually forms crystals. Because the rock changes its structure, it is called Metamorphic Rock.

Terry dropped a pebble from the top of his apartment building. The pebble impacted the ground after falling for 2.2 seconds. Cal
Contact [7]

The final velocity of the pebble as it hits the ground is 21.5 m/s.

We have to use the equation;

v = u + gt

Where;

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Since the pebble was dropped from a height, u =0 m/s, hence,

v = gt

v = 9.8 ms-2 × 2.2 s

v = 21.5 m/s
