Rotation is the action of moving an object around a center and this concept is fully shown in the movie “The Martian”. The rotation however depends on the concept of angular momentum, which is the rotational analog of linear momentum. This quantity is and will be the same for any rotating object and will not change unless it is ever impacted with an external force. In this case per say the Earth or Mars, rotating about its axis the physical quantity will always be conserved. Thus poses the…

that was covered was the following: S4E1. Students will compare and contrast the physical attributes of stars, star patterns, and planets. a. Recognize the physical attributes of stars in the night sky such as number, size, color and patterns. b. Compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearance, position, and number in the night sky. c. Explain why the pattern of stars in a constellation stays the same, but a planet can be seen in different locations at different…

classification of stars and continues to do so in today’s time. Annie Jump Cannon’s legacy will carry on lasting a lifetime! The first letters of each word in the phrase represents the seven main types of stars. Starting with ”‘O,” these stars are very young, blue, hot, massive and extremely bright star. This type of star is very uncommon similar to the “B” and “A” stars. These stars get their energy from nuclear fusion, as they convert Hydrogen to Helium. As these massive stars begin to die…

Nasa’s spitzer and Hubble space telescopes have discovered a massive galaxy creating more and more new stars. The way that this massive cluster has been formed so quickly is by feeding off gases from other galaxies. Tracy Webb of McGill University explained that usually a star in the center of a galaxy is old and dead, but this new cluster within this rare galaxy is creating new stars very quickly by merging with other smaller galaxies. Clusters are families of galaxies bound together by the…

Brianna Susnak Mini-Project #1 1. The six steps of the formation of the solar system are: • Gravitational collapse—the protostellar cloud collapses into a rotating disk. This disk increases in temperature and rotation rate, due to the conservation of energy and angular momentum. The rotating cloud is flattened into a disk, and the materials in the disk move in a circular motion. The material in this disk forms planets that orbit in the same way that the material from which they are formed…

used in astronomy for the evaluation of star composition light years away from Earth. Please provide detailed information. The spectrum of stars consists of bright lines and dark lines. These lines are produced when the star emits or absorbs energy at specific wavelengths. Emission line spectroscopy is used in order to find out the star’s colour spectrum. The spectrum can be found by using a visible light telescope or by collecting radiation that the stars emit and putting it through a…

Getting where you need to be, while staying on the right track, is a key part of backpacking. A hiker can quickly become lost in dense backcountry, making outdoor navigation skills an important part to any wilderness trip. Modern GPS navigation systems are a great tool for finding your way, but, as with any device, they can fail, leaving you stranded without any means to navigate. It’s best to keep a handheld map and compass as a backup in your backpack. Study the terrain thoroughly to help you…

2 stayed the same. The gravitational pull increased 125856 E-6 Newtons. This shows that when the mass increases, this directly affects the force of gravity and this applies to Newton’s Second Law, F=MA. Also, the Solar Nebula Theory lab showed how stars are made. Dust from nebula’s are pulled together from gravity and start fusing together,…

infinite, we'd have an infinite number of stars light of the result The combination of the sky at night it should be clear to all.However, experience to the contrary. [1] Assumptions [edit | edit source text] If 1. the universe is infinite, 2. an infinite number of evenly spaced stars included, We can look in any direction, overlooking the star should be. The gloss is independent of the distance, so the night sky should be as bright as the surface of a star. We also need to do the above, if we…

Astronomers discovered a galaxy 9.8 billion light years away that creates an astounding 800 stars a year. To put this in perspective, the Milky Way produces two stars per year at most. “It is very exciting to have discovered such an interesting object,” said Gillian Wilson, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Riverside and a member of the research team. “Understanding its nature proved to be a real scientific challenge which required the combined efforts of an…
