Stars form in the milky way at a rate of about 1 solar mass per year. at this rate, how long would it take for all the interstellar gas in the milky way to be turned into stars if there were no fresh gas coming in from outside? how does this compare to the estimated age of the universe, 14 billion years? what do you conclude from this?

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2

Acircuit contain a 5-ohm,a3-ohm,and an 8-ohm resistor in series. what is the total resistance of the circuit

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m and the proton at x = - 1.000 m. part a how much work is required to bring an additional electron from infinity to the origin? express your answer with the appropriate units. part b if, instead of the second electron coming in from infinity, it is initially at x = + 20.00 m on the axis and is given an initial velocity of 100.0 m/s toward the origin, does it reach the origin? part c how close to the origin does it come?
