16
Q

What does gravity depend on?

A

The mass and distance between the two objects.

17
Q

Do comets orbit in a circular way?

A

No. They orbit ina shape called ellipse.

18
Q

Relationship between speed of planet and gravitation field strength

A

Direct.

19
Q

When the planet is closer what Energy is smaller and greater?

A

Ep is smaller and Ek is greater.

20
Q

Explain why it would be easier to launch a rocket on mars?

A

Mars has less mass so they have less gravitaional field strength so require less energy to launch ut.

21
Q

Lowest to highest temp colors of the star

A

Red orange yellow blue.

22
Q

What is a nebula?

A

Humble cloud of gas and dust.

23
Q

How is a protostar formed?

A

If the mass of a region in the nebula is large enough gravity will begin to pull nebula together and compress it to form a. hot ball of gas known as a protostar

24
Q

When does a protostar become a stable star?

A

When the outward force due to high temps are equal to the inward gravitational attraction.

25
Q

How is a star born?

A

When the gas has been compressed so much that temp reached million of degrees and fusion starts to begin.

26
Q

How does a red giant form?

A

When stars begin to run out of hydrogen, more complicated fusions start and stars begin to swell outwards and cool a little at the surface

27
Q

White dwarf?

A

When the last fusion. reaction stops the star shrinks and the compressed gases hea5 up making the star white hit at the surface.

28
Q

Supergiant.

A

Stars with a mass much higher than the sun will be extremely bright and will convert hydrogen at a vast rate through fusion when hydrogen runs out they allow swell up making red supergiants.

29
Q

What is supernova?

A

Once a red supergiant runs out of fuel to sustain the complicated fusion reactions that occur, the star collapses very rapidly. As it rushes inwards, The star explodes in a flash releasing so much energy it can out-shine an entire galaxy This explosion is called a supernova.

30
Q

neutron star?

A

Remaining dire collapses into tiny extremely dense core made of neutrons.

31
Q

what is the big bang theory?

A

This theory states that the Universe started at a single point. In an enormous release of energy (the Big Bang) all matter was created and moved outward from this point. Eventually the matter formed dust clouds, stars and the galaxies we see today. However, these galaxies are still moving outwards - the universe is
still expanding and cool

32
Q

what does hubble constant state?

A

Hubble’s Law states that a galaxy’s recessional velocity (its
from us) is directly proportional to the galaxy’s
A graph of recessional velocity against distance
velocity away
distance from Earth.

33
Q

formula of hubble constant?

A

v=h0d t=d/v=1/h
