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

Oxana [17]

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!!

irakobra [83]

QUESTION:-A beam of white light shines onto a sheet of white paper. An identical beam of light shines onto a mirror. The light is scattered from the paper and reflected from the mirror.
Describe how scattering by paper and reflection by a mirror are different from each other.

ANSWER: Scattering sends or reflects light from each point on the object in all directions, whereas reflection sends light from each point on the object in one direction only (or to one point)

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer

Hi,

correct answer is {D} 3.5 m/s²

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Acceleration can occur when a moving body is speeding up, slowing down or changing direction.

Acceleration is calculated by the equation =change in velocity/change in time

a= {velocity final-velocity initial}/(change in time)

a=v-u/Δt

The units for acceleration is meters per second square m/s²

In this example, initial velocity =2.0m/s⇒u

Final velocity=44.0m/s⇒v

Time taken for change in velocity=12 s⇒Δt

a= (44-2)/12 = 42/12

3.5 m/s²

Best Wishes!

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound

NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

$f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}$

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

$f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz$

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .
