Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Answer:
older plates that are subducting almost perpendicularly, and when the location is far away from the edge of other tectonic plates, are the most likely areas for copper deposits to form
Explanation:
Answer:
Miter joint
Explanation:
Made by fastening together usually perpendicular parts with the ends cut at an angle
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
1) The human arm: This is a type of simple machine called "Lever". In this type of machine, the elbow acts as the fulcrum, the palm serves as the load because that's where we place the load we want to carry. While the inner part of the arm which is the inner part of the elbow represents the effort because that is the joint we mover when making use of our arms.
2) Pulleys: An example of this in the human body is the knee cap where the direction of an applied force is changed. Thus means as it is in motion, it alters the direction for which the quadriceps tendon pulls on the tibia.
3) wheel and axle: An example of this in the human body is the lateral rotation of the shoulder joint medial. The humerus which is the bone between the shoulder and elbow will act as the axle while the rotator will be the will because when it is rotated a little bit, the humerus will move along with it.
