(1) a. Show explicitly that for very massive stars (opacity dominated by Thompson scattering, pressure from radiation) that luminosity is proportional to mass.

b. Show explicitly that for moderately massive stars (opacity dominated by Thompson scattering, pressure from gas) that luminosity is proportional to mass cubed.

The Lagoon Nebula (the figure (Figure 1)) is a cloud of hydrogen gas located 3900 light-years from the earth. The cloud is about 45 light-years in diameter and glows because of its high temperature of 7500 K. (The gas is raised to this temperature by the stars that lie within the nebula.) The cloud is also very thin; there are only 80 molecules per cubic centimeter. a. Find the gas pressure (in atmospheres) in the Lagoon Nebula. b. Science fiction...

Nitrogen is fed from a high pressure cylinder, through 1/4 inch ID stainless steel tubing, to an experimental unit. The line ruptures at a point 10 ft from the cylinder. If the pressure of the nitrogen in the cylinder is 2200 psig and the temperature is 70°C a) Use the ideal gas law to calculate the density of gas in the tank b) What is the mass flow rate of the gas through the line? c) Is the flow choked?...
