22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

What are sunspots?

Sunspots are caused by disturbances in the Sun's magnetic field welling up to the Sun's visible surface.

Sunspot are region of the earth that are more darker than other surfaces. They have a reduced temperature.

If sunspots are active, more solar flares will result creating an increase in geomagnetic storm activity for Earth.

Here, the sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years. So, for reversal polarity of the sun, 22 year solar cycle is characterized by a variation in the number of sunspots and a reversal of the polarity of the Sun as a whole.

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut
Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.

How long will it take an object to hit the ground if it is dropped from a hight of 176.4 meters ​
Oliga [24]

There's a short handy formula for that.

If the object is just dropped and not tossed, and it's not affected by air resistance on the way down, then the distance it falls in T seconds is

D = (1/2) (gravity) (T²)

For this problem . . .

176.4 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (T²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) :

T² = (176.4 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

T² = (36 s²)

Take the square root of each side:

<em>T = 6 seconds</em>
