An constant density interstellar cloud with a radius of 2215 AU consists of an ideal gas of pure 12C I. The object’s kinetic energy is 12.3% of the absolute value of its potential energy. What is the radius of the cloud when it reaches equilibrium (assume zero energy loss)
8. 5pt Suppose you gathered a ball of interstellar gas that was equal to the size of the Earth (a radius of about 6400 km). If this gas has a density of 3.8 hydrogen atoms per cm3, typical of the interstellar medium, what would its total mass be? The volume of a sphere is (For comparison, a bowling ball has a mass of about 5 kg) 9. [5pt] At the average density of of a star-forming molecular cloud, about 880...
Stars form from the gravitational collapse of clouds of interstellar ("between the stars") gas. To simplify the situation, assume that a single star forms from a uniform, spherical cloud of gas of mass 2.0 x 1030 kg and radius 1.0 x 1013 m. 2. Before it begins to collapse, the cloud is rotating with a period of 1.4 million years. What is the angular speed of the cloud? (2.26 × 10-14 rev/s) The cloud eventually collapses to form a star...
Only A and B please :)
The equation mgy for gravitational potential energy is valid only for objects near the surface of a planet. Consider two very large objects of mass m_1 and m_2, such as stars or planets, whose centers are separated by the large distance r. These two large objects exert gravitational forces on each other. The gravitational potential energy is U = -Gm_1 m_2/r where G = 6.67 times 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant. (a) Sketch...
