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!

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

Explanation:

Taking the pic shown, we have

m₁ = 10m₀

m₂ = 2m₀

m₃ = m₀

r₁ = r₀

r₂ = 2r₀

r₃ = 3r₀

We apply the formula

I = mr²

then

I₁ = m₁r₁² = (10m₀)(r₀)² = 10m₀r₀²

I₂ = m₂r₂² = (2m₀)(2r₀)² = 8m₀r₀²

I₃ = m₃r₃² = (m₀)(3r₀)² = 9m₀r₀²

finally we have

I₁ > I₃ > I₂

In three sentences, please describe SIMPLE HARMONIC motion, and give two examples. Thank you! :-)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
A system that repeats to and from its mean or rest point. that executes harmonic motion. a few examples I've heard of are since the springtime a mass-spring system,a swing, simple pendulum, one more example is a steel ball rolling in a curved is this what you need or do you need three more sentences dish. to get S.H.M a body just displaced away from the resting position and of course then is released. the human body oscillates due to the reinforce that pulls it back do you need anything else answered on this and I'll answer it
