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!!

Explain how you can determine the direction of a magnetic field produced by a wire if you know the diection of the current throu
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Right hand thumb rule : Point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current flow, the direction of curvature of the fingers will give us the direction of the magnetic field produced by current carrying wire. This rule was given by Maxwell.

1) If the current is moving in upward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in anti clock wise direction.

2) If the current is moving in downward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in clock wise direction.

Elena-2011 [213]


In a cell, protein synthesis  is the primary function of the ribosomes, found in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.

A Ribosome is a cell organelle that makes protein. The location of the ribosome  in a cell determine the kind of protein it makes.  If the ribosome is attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, the proteins made are utilized both  within and outside the cell. If the ribosome is in the cytoplasm, floating freely, then the kind of protein made will be utilized within the cell only.

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s

JulsSmile [24]

Answer: a network of several radio telescopes wired together 

Explanation:

A radio interferometer combines signals of several radio telescopes which are used in astronomical observations simultaneously to simulate a discretely-sampled single telescope of very large aperture

Interferometer, an instrument that uses the interference patterns formed by waves to measure certain characteristics of the waves themselves or of materials that reflect, refract, or transmit the waves. Interferometers can also be used to make precise measurements of distance.
