Answer:

the short version is density

Explanation:

so the outer part of the nebula is cold and dark 10-20k but at this temutre the gas clumps together heating it up more mass = more gravity = more heat and the gravity will pull more mass that will give the proto star the spherical shape we all know and love

Answer:

Gravitational attraction caused the volume of the nebula to decrease, which raised the particle motion and temperature at the center of the nebula to the necessary 14 million Kelvin.

Relatively hot objects emit visible light.
Some examples: 
==> the wire coils in the toaster; 
==> the spoon that you stuck in the flame on the stove;
==> the fine wire in the lightbulb when current goes through it.

VERY radioactive objects also do that.  But if you're actually
standing there watching an object that's THAT radioactive,
then you're in big trouble.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a)  f_{e} = 3,375 cm , b)  f₀ = 77.625 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a telescope is, to see at the far point of vision (infinity image)

        m = - f₀ /  f_{e}

The length of the tube is

        L = f₀ + f_{e}

a) The focal length of the eyepiece

       L = - m  f_{e} +  f_{e}

       L = f_{e} (1-m)

        f_{e} = L / (1-m)

Let's calculate

        f_{e} = 81.0 / (1 - (-23.0)

        f_{e} = 3,375 cm

b) the focal length of the target

       f₀ = -m  f_{e}

       f₀ = 23 (3.68)

       f₀ = 77.625 cm

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]

Prove that the weight of an object on moon is 1/6th of that on earth​
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth. As a result, the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.
