Gravitational collapse

were born among the dust and scattered throughout the most galaxies. There is an example of dust cloud which is the Orion Nebula.The turbulence in the depths of these clouds produces enough mass of knots.Because its own gravitational attraction,and the gas and dust can begin to collapse. Then the material at the center begin to heat up which is known as protostar . The heart of the collapsing cloud will one day become a star. Since stars are formed from hydrogen, will they deform? If yes,…

compered to a black hole they are extremely minute. The idea of earth being swallowed by a black hole is terrifying one. One of the things that we fear most about black holes is how little we know about them. We know that they have incredibly strong gravitational force. By the time you got anywhere near it your atoms would have been ground up and used to fuel the black hole. It is this fear of the unknown that is the scariest thing about a black hole. How could we mitigate the effects of a force…

Space is extraordinary! It is full of planets, stars, and many other things. There are several different hypotheses that were proposed on how the solar system was created. One of these hypotheses is the Nebular that was formulated by Pierre-Simon de Laplace in 1796. Many years later, in the 1900s, the Protoplanet hypothesis was proposed by Carl von Weizsäcker and Gerard Kuiper. Forest Moulton and Thomas Chamberlin proposed the Planetesimal hypothesis in 1905. The Nebular hypothesis starts…

believe the formation of the Solar System started around 4.6 billion years ago. They believe there was a huge molecular cloud and that a small part collapsed, possibly due to a shock wave from a close by supernova. This is known in science as a gravitational collapse which is (according to Wikipedia) “the inward fall of an astronomical object due to the influence of its own gravity which tends to draw the object toward its center of…

How The Sun Produces Light and Heat Matthew K Paschall Tennessee Tech University Abstract In the center of our solar system sits the key to life on Earth, the sun. The sun provides us with light and heat among other things. The reason for this research paper is to discuss the physics behind the sun and how it creates its light and heat that is so important to our life. How the Sun Produces Heat and Light The sun is the necessary ingredient to many of the processes and phenomena that take…

Faster-than-light travel (FTL) refers to matter travelling at a faster speed than light (c). In a vacuum, this speed is known as 2.998 x 108 meters per seconds. Based on the Theory of Relativity, it is known that objects with a mass cannot exceed the speed of light as they require infinite energy due to the increasing amounts of energy required for continuous acceleration (PhysicsLink, 2017). However, matters without mass, such as photons, can reach this speed (PhysicsLink, 2017). Nevertheless,…

Stars are an appealing component of our universe. Because of our scientific advances, we know more about stars than ever before. They are born, they live, and then they die. How does this process work, though? The answer lies within thermodynamics. Thermodynamics has helped us understand how stars transfer energy and heat. Thermodynamics is a subject of physics that is concerned with heat and temperature. It is used to describe bodies of matter and their internal energy. Thermodynamics helps us…

with helium, releasing heat and light. Now, there isn’t enough pressure crushing down on the star to have a reaction with helium. Nuclear reaction ceases inside the star. Since there now isn’t any outward push from fusion, the star starts to collapse. This collapse begins to create more and more pressure inside the star until it is adequate enough to have the fusing process of helium begin in the core, while also some of the remaining hydrogen burns outside of it. The products the helium burning…

Black hole The story of my scientifically accurate sci-fi paper happens in 2046. At that time, people nearly destroy the earth by nuclear weapon. In this case, the league of survivor sends hundreds of spacemen into space in different direction in order to find a habitable planet. Jack, a brave spaceman, carry out that long-term space travel mission. He spends the rest of his life on space travel and experiences lots of bizarre and untouchable phenomenon. Black hole, the topic of this paper,…

reading and you'll find out more than you know now. The purpose of this paper is to give you information about black wholes on how they form and describe what they do. Nothing, not even light is able to escape a black hole because of its strong gravitational pull. Black holes are the last great stage in enormous stars lifetimes that had been as big as ten to fifteen Suns. With zero force of gravity the black hole sucks up light from such a star. The light from the star then gets stuck in an…
