Consider a planetary nebula with distance 1.5 kpc and angular size 12 arcsec: a. What is its linear radius? b. Suppose this hot *T = 30,000 K) star emits ionizing photons at a rate of 6.92*10^47 s^(-1). Assuming a recombination coefficient α = equals 3*10^(-13) cm^3/s, estimate the density of electrons in the nebula. c. Assuming this is a spherical nebula, calculate the emission measure.
What kind of energy transformation occurs when a rock falls, including air resistance? a. Kinetic energy is converted to gravitational energy and thermal energy: energy is conserved. b. Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy: energy is not conserved. OC. Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and thermal energy: energy is conserved. d. Thermal energy is converted to gravitational energy: energy is not conserved.
Given the formula of the kinetic energy of a particle m
with
speed v:
KE = 1⁄2mv2 ,
and the formula of the gravitational potential energy:
PE = -GMEm/R,
where G is gravitational constant and ME and R=6378 km are the
mass and the radius of Earth. Now the particle is shot from Earth
surface to space. Find the minimum required initial speed for this
particle to completely escape the influence of Earth gravity (i.e.
PE=0). Notice that the gravitational...
An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when loaded so that its mass and its speed are both doubled?
1a) What is the kinetic energy (in J) of a 2610-pound automobile traveling at 62.5 km per hour? b) What energy transformations take place when a moving car brakes and skids to a stop? Select all that apply. Total energy is conserved. The kinetic energy of the car is converted into thermal energy. The brakes and tires are cooler after the car stops then just before the brakes were applied. Total energy is not conserved.
