For stars to form, the temperature of the hydrogen in a nebula must be more than 14 million Kelvin. How did gravitational attrac

tion help achieve these high temperatures?

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 power of the elevator if it can raise 290 kg of mass 30 flights of stairs (300 m) in 17 seconds
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Power =  50204 [watts]

Explanation:

We know that the power is defined by the following expression:

Power = Work/time

where:

Power [watts]

time [seconds]

The work done will be the following:

Work = Force * distance [Joules]

Force[Newtons]

distance[meters]

Force = mass* gravity

Force=290 [kg]*9.81[m/s^2] =2844.9[N]

Work = 2844.9[N]*300[m] = 853470[J]

Therefore

Power = 853470 / 17 = 50204 [watts]

Why can't you stand with your heels and back to a wall and then bend over to touch your toes and return to your stand-up positio
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Due to the rotating effect created due to opposite acting offset forces of the body weight and the normal reaction from the heels.

Explanation:

  • We cannot stand on heels with a wall at the back support and then bend over to touch the toes and regain the position back by standing up because we have the center of mass of our body somewhere at the abdominal portion of our body.
  • So, while standing on our heels we are giving our body only one point to support and balance itself.
  • On bending the center of mass of our body shifts forward and it is now not vertically in line to the direction of the support reaction from the heels because of the wall at the back we cannot bend our knees and move our weight over our heels for gaining the balance. Due to a difference between the these two opposite forces we have a turning effect called moment on the center of mass of our body. This tries to rotate our body in the forward direction about the center of mass of our body.

Which of the following BEST explains how climate is related to the seasons?
AVprozaik [17]

Seasons are largely due to factors surrounding the Earth's tilted axis as it revolves around the sun. A season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions.

The polynomial 0.041h - 0.018A - 2.69 can be used to estimate the lung capacity, in liters, of a female with height h centimeter
Elden [556K]

Answer:

5 liters.

Explanation:

We are being given the expression

V = 0.041h - 0.018A - 2.69

The height h is 165 cm.

The Age A is 65 years old.

So we replace the values of h and A in the equation given:

V = 0.041 * 165 + 0.018 * 65 - 2.69 = 5.245 liters.

Rounding, we notice that 5.245 liters is closer to 5 than 6. So the answer would be 5 liters.

An astronaut is out in space with an extremely precise timing device measuring the speed of various fast‑moving objects. A laser
Leviafan [203]

Answer and Explanation:

with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.

Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., 3\times 10^{8} m/s.

The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.

The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.
