Multiple choice test questions 1, Winter Semester
... 39) Why are astronauts weightless in the Space Station? A) because the Space Station is constantly in free-fall around the Earth B) because the Space Station is traveling so fast C) because there is no gravity in space D) because the Space Station is moving at constant velocity 40) Why were ancient ...

... Finally, the rate of fusion becomes high enough to establish gravitational equilibrium. At this point, fusion becomes self-sustaining and the star settles into its hydrogen burning, main sequence life. The main sequence phase is the longest phase of a star's life, about 10 billion years for a star w ...

Astronomy 82 - Problem Set #1
... Given the low average speed of helium atoms in Jupiter's atmosphere, there should be relatively little “leakage” of helium from Jupiter out into space. Contrast this with the Earth: its escape velocity is much lower (~11 km/s) and its temperature is a bit higher, so there is a slow, but substantial, ...
