True or false? A protostellar cloud spins faster as it contracts

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks04 [339]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

No. The protostellar cloud spins faster in the collapsing stage (stage 1) and becomes much slower in the contraction stage (stage 2)

Explanation:

Once the cloud is so dense that the heat which is being produced in its center cannot easily escape, pressure rapidly rises, and catches up with the weight, or whatever external force is causing the cloud to collapse, and the cloud becomes stable, as a protostellar cloud.

The protostellar cloud will become more dense over thousands of years. This stage of decreasing size is known as a contraction, rather than a collapse. In the contraction stage the cloud has become much slower, and because weight and pressure are more or less in balance. In the first stage of formation, the decrease of size is very rapid, and compressive forces completely overwhelm the pressure of the gas, and we say that the cloud is collapsing.

A 300 kg buffalo runs across the prairie with a speed of 8 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the Buffalo? A:19,200 j B:9600 j C
alina1380 [7]
<h2>Answer: 9600 J</h2>

The kinetic energy K  of a body is that energy it possesses due to its movement and is defined as:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

Where m is the mass of the body and V its velocity .

This has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving.

Now, according to this equation and knowing that the mass of the buffalo is m=300kg  and its velocity V=8m/s :

K=\frac{1}{2}(300kg)(8m/s)^{2}

K=9600J

Therefore the correct option is B.

Which is true about total internal reflection?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

It can occur only when light is incident on an interface where the index of refraction on the other side is less.

Explanation:

When the light passes from a denser medium, with refractive index n1, to another less dense medium, with refractive index n2, the incident light beam is refracted in such a way that it is not able to cross the surface between both media, the light beam is fully reflected and completely confining in the optically denser medium through which it propagates. For this phenomenon to occur, it is necessary that the angle of the incident light beam with respect to the normal be greater than or equal to the critical incidence angle θc. The critical angle can be calculated as :

\theta_c=arcsin(\frac{n_2}{n_1})

Select the correct answer. What do scientists use to determine the temperature of a star? A. Thermometer B. Distance from Earth
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Color

Explanation:

Thus, for stars, considering them as “black bodies”, we can get an approximate figure for their temperature by measuring their dominant frequency (color). Technically scientists measure the brightness of the blue light and that of red light from the star, and from this they can calculate the temperature of the star.

How is gravity simulated on the hermes spacecraft?
gulaghasi [49]

Hermes has a rotating wheel, or centrifuge, to provide artificial gravity for the crew. Spaceships in “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Mission to Mars” were similarly equipped. Although it is not shown in the film, the astronauts would have used a Mars descent vehicle (MDV) to get down from Hermes to the surface.
