A star is in hydrostatic equilibrium when the outward push of pressure due to core burning is exactly in balance with the inward

pull of gravity. When the hydrogen in a star's core has been used up, burning ceases, and gravity and pressure are no longer in balance. This causes the star to undergo significant changes.
Which of the following evolutionary changes would bring a star back into hydrostatic equilibrium? Check all that apply:

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.
b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.
c) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.
d) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

Hydro static equilibrium holds a star steady and balanced. Whenever a star stops burning hydrogen in its center, there must be evolutionary improvements to maintain equilibrium for the star Of example, if a star's internal pressure and temperature fall, gravity will take over and force the star to contract and heat up, restoring stability. By contrast, if a star's internal pressure and temperature rises, the extra pressure causes the star to widen and cool, restoring balance.

so, according to above explanation options a and b both are true

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.

Use Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation to calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force between a 200 kg refrigerator an
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

From newton' s law of universal gravitation,

F = Gmm'/r² .............................. Equation 1

Where F = Gravitational force between the person and the refrigerator, m = mass of the person, m' = mass of the refrigerator, r = distance between the person and the refrigerator. G = gravitational universal constant.

Given: m = 70 kg, m' = 200 kg, r = 0.5 m

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹×70×200)/0.5²

F = 93380×10⁻¹¹/0.25

F = 373520×10⁻¹¹

F = 3.735×10⁻⁶ N

Hence the force between the person and the refrigerator =  3.735×10⁻⁶ N

What force must be used to do 224 Joules of work on an object over a distance of 32 meters?
cestrela7 [59]
7.625 Newtons

work = force× distance
Newtons is an accepted value for force

so take the total 224 joules and decide by distance 32 meters to find force in Newtons

In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?
kupik [55]
<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>
