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.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Power is 200 W

Explanation: Power P = work done / time used.

P = W/t = mgh/t = 154 kg · 9.81 m/s²· 4 m / 30 s = 201 W

A car changes velocity at a constant acceleration of 2.5m/s to reach 43.7m/s in 2.7 s how fast was the car moving when it began
Montano1993 [528]

The formula we can use in this case is:

v = v0 + a t

where v is final velocity, v0 is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So finding for v0:

v0 = v – a t

v0 = 43.7 – (2.5) 2.7

v0 =  36.95 m/s

After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped? assume t
Ivenika [448]

Time taken by the package to reach the sea level= 13.7 s

height=h=925 m

initial velocity along vertical= vi=0

acceleration due to gravity=g=9.8 m/s^2

using the kinematic equation h= Vi*t + 1/2 gt^2

925=0(t)+1/2 (9.8)t^2

4.9 t^2=925

t= 13.7 s

djverab [1.8K]
The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m


g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2
