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.

Cheers!

One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i
Musya8 [376]

The annual production of carbon dioxide is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg.

First we calculate the fuel consumed by each car in a year

Fuel consumed=6990/21.4=326.63 gallon

Now we calculate the amount of fuel consumed by 40 million cars in a year

Fuel consumed=326.63*40*10^6=13065.42 million gallon,

Now we can calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in the USA

CO2 production rate=9.50*13065.42=124121.49*10^6 kg

Therefore the annual production of carbon dioxide in USA is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg

Part complete Sound with frequency 1240 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.11 m . At what minimum angle relati
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

14.43° or 0.25184 rad

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

f = Frequency = 1240 Hz

d = Width in doorway = 1.11 m

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{343}{1240}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.2766\ m

In the case of Fraunhofer diffraction we have the relation

dsin\theta=\lambda\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{0.2766}{1.11}\\\Rightarrow \theta=14.43^{\circ}\ or\ 0.25184\ rad

The minimum angle relative to the center line perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound is 14.43° or 0.25184 rad
