The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright star

s in Orion's belt). It is a very complicated mess of gas, dust, young star systems, and brown dwarfs, but let's estimate its temperature if we assume it is a uniform ideal gas. Assume it is a sphere of radius r = 5.9 × 1015 m (around 6 light years) with a total mass 4000 times the mass of the Sun. If the gas is all diatomic hydrogen and the pressure in the nebula is Pn = 6.8 × 10-9 Pa, what is the average temperature (in K) of the nebula? Assume the mass of the sun is Ms = 1.989 × 1030 kg and the mass of a hydrogen atom is mH = 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

Answer:

T=183.21K

Explanation:

We have to take into account that the system is a ideal gas. Hence, we have the expression

PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the ideal gas constant.

Thus, it is necessary to calculate n and V

V is the volume of a sphere

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5.9*10^{15}m)^3=8.602*10^{47}m^3

V=8.86*10^{50}L

and for n

n=\frac{(4000M_s)/(2*mH)}{6.022*10^{23}mol^{-1}}=3.95*10^{36}mol

Hence, we have (1 Pa = 9.85*10^{-9}atm)

T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{(6.8*10^{-9}*9.85*10^{-6}atm)(8.86*10^{50}L)}{(0.0820\frac{atm*L}{mol*K})(3.95*10^{36}mol)}\\\\T=183.21K

hope this helps!!

Two large aluminum plates are separated by a distance of 2.0 cm and are held at a potential difference of 170 V. An electron ent
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates

V / d

= 170 / ( 2 x 10⁻² )

= 8500 N/C

Force on electron in this field

= 8500 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ N

Acceleration

= 13600 x 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

a = 1494.5 x 10¹² m /s²

s = .1 x 10⁻² m

v² = u² + 2as

=  (2.9x 10⁵)²+ 2 x 1494.5 x 10¹² x .1 x 10⁻²

= 8.41 x 10¹⁰ + 299 x 10¹⁰

= (8.41 + 299 ) x 10¹⁰

v = 17.53  x 10⁵ m /s

Which image represents the force on a positively charged particle caused by an approaching magnet?
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Image B represents the force on a positively charged particle caused by an approaching magnet.

Explanation:

The most fundamental law of magnetism is that like shafts repulse each other and dissimilar to posts pull in one another; this can without much of a stretch be seen by endeavoring to put like posts of two magnets together. Further attractive impacts additionally exist. On the off chance that a bar magnet is cut into two pieces, the pieces become singular magnets with inverse shafts. Also, pounding, warming or winding of the magnets can demagnetize them, on the grounds that such dealing with separates the direct game plan of the particles. A last law of magnetism alludes to maintenance; a long bar magnet will hold its magnetism longer than a short bar magnet. The domain theory of magnetism expresses that every single enormous magnet involve littler attractive districts, or domains. The attractive character of domains originates from the nearness of significantly littler units, called dipoles. Iotas are masterminded in such a manner in many materials that the attractive direction of one electron counteracts the direction of another; in any case, ferromagnetic substances, for example, iron are unique. The nuclear cosmetics of these substances is with the end goal that littler gatherings of particles unite as one into zones called domains; in these, all the electrons have the equivalent attractive direction.

If an object is not moving are the forces acting on it balanced? Yes or no?why?
xxMikexx [17]

This is another time to look at Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the object is not moving, then its acceleration is certainly zero, and Newton's law looks like this:

Net Force = (mass) x (zero)

or  Net Force = (zero) .

"Net Force = zero" means that if there ARE any forces acting on the object, then they add up to zero, and we call them "balanced" forces.

So the answer is '<em>yes</em>', and that's why.
