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.

Calculate the mass of air of density 1.2kgm-3 in a room of dimensions 8m by 6m by 4m.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

230.4kg

Explanation:

volume of the room = l× b×h

volume= 8×6×4

volume=192m3

density= mass/volume

hence mass= density × volume

mass= 1.2kgm-3 × 192m3

mass= 230.4kg

How many miles must you travel to make the Earth fall the same amount?
Ede4ka [16]

Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.

In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.

A parallel circuit has two 8.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. If a 12.5-ohm resistor is added to the circuit in
Airida [17]
-- The two 8-ohm resistors in parallel are equivalent to
a single 4-ohm resistor.

-- The current in the circuit is 

                 (voltage) / (resistance) = (9v) / (4ohms) = 2.25 Amperes

-- If another resistor is added in parallel, then no matter how large
or small it is, the current in the circuit increases. 
(When another lane is added to a road, the traffic capacity of the
road increases.)

The circuit is now equivalent to a 12.5-ohm resistor in parallel
with 4-ohms.  That's ...

       (12.5 x 4) / (12.5 + 4)  =  50/16.5  =  3.03 ohms .

-- The new current is  (9v) / (3.03 ohms)  =  2.97 Amperes
