New stars form from ?

1 answer:

7 0

Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. The process of star formation takes around a million years from the time the initial gas cloud starts to collapse until the star is created and shines like the sun

mass of the planet is 12 times that of earth and its radius is thrice that of earth , then find the escape velocity on that plan

Over [174]

Answer:

The escape velocity on the planet is approximately 178.976 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity for Earth is therefore given as follows

The formula for escape velocity, $v_e$ , for the planet is $v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot m}{r} }$

Where;

$v_e$ = The escape velocity on the planet

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m = The mass of the planet = 12 × The mass of Earth, $M_E$

r = The radius of the planet = 3 × The radius of Earth, $R_E$

The escape velocity for Earth, $v_e_E$ , is therefore given as follows;

$v_e_E = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \cdot G \cdot M_E}{R_E} }$

$\therefore v_e = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 12 \times M}{3 \times R} } = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times 4 \times M}{R} } = 16 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times G \times M}{R} } = 16 \times v_e_E$

$v_e$ = 16 × $v_e_E$

Given that the escape velocity for Earth, $v_e_E$ ≈ 11,186 m/s, we have;

The escape velocity on the planet = $v_e$ ≈ 16 × 11,186 ≈ 178976 m/s ≈ 178.976 km/s.

4. Think back to Coulomb's Law. Two coins with identical charges are placed on a lab table 1.35 m apart.

FinnZ [79.3K]

A) To calculate the charge of each coin, we must apply the expression of the Coulomb's Law:

F=K(q1xq2)/r²

F: The magnitud of the force between the charges. (F=2.0 N).
K: Constant of proporcionality of the Coulomb's Law (K=9x10^9 Nxm²/C²).
q1 and q2: Electrical charges.
r: The distance between the charges (r=1.35 m).

We have the values of F, K and r, so we can calculate q1xq2, because both coins have identical charges:

q1xq2=(r²xF)/K
q1xq2=(1.35 m)²(2.0 N)/9x10^9 Nxm²/C²
q1xq2=3x10^-10 C
q1=q2=(3x10^-10 C)/2

Then, the charge of each coin, is:

q1=1.5x10^-10 C

q2=1.5x10^-10 C

B) Would the force be classified as a force of attraction or repulsion?

It is a force of repulsion, because both coins have identical charges and both are postive. In others words, when two bodies have identical charges (positive charges or negative charges), the force is of repulsion.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1.00g hailstone falling at 8.50m/s

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

36.125 J

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = .5(m)(v²).

Using the given information, mass = 1 g and v = 8.50. Plug that information into the equation. KE = .5(1)(8.50²) = 36.125 J.

Consider a sound wave moving through the air modeled with the equation s(x, t) = 5.00 nm cos(60.00 m−1x − 18.00 ✕ 103 s−1t). Wha

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Shortest time = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

Explanation:

We are given;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t))

Let us set x = 0 as origin.

Now, for us to find the time difference, we need to solve 2 equations which are;

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t1))

And

s(x,t) = 5.00 nm cos((60.00 m^(−1)x) − (18.00 X 10³ s^(−1)t2))

Now, since the wave starts from maxima at time at t = 0, the required time would be the difference (t2 - t1)

Thus, the solutions are;

t1 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (2.5/5)

And

t2 = (1/(18 × 10³)) cos^(-1) (-2.5/5)

Angle of the cos function is in radians, thus;

t1 = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s

t2 = 116.36 × 10^(-6) s

So,

Required time = t2 - t1 = (116.36 × 10^(-6) s) - (58.18 × 10^(-6) s) = 58.18 × 10^(-6) s
