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!

An electron with a charge of -1.6 × 10-19 coulombs experiences a field of 1.4 × 105 newtons/coulomb. What is the magnitude of th
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Electric force, F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on an electron is -1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Electric field, E=1.4\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the magnitude of the electric force on this electron due to this field. The electric force is given by :

F=qE\\\\F=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.4\times 10^5\\\\F=2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N

So, the electric force is 2.24\times 10^{-14}\ N.

You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 25 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w
solniwko [45]

Answer:

a) p(total) = <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > kg m/s

b) p = <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > kg.m/s

c) v_f = < 1, 2, 2 > m/s

Explanation:

a.)

Mass of each lump = 25 g = 0.025 kg

Velocity of lump 1 = < -2, 0, -7 > m/s

Momentum of lump 1 = Mass×Velocity

                                   = 0.025×< -2, 0, -7 >

                                   = < -0.05, 0, 0.175> kg m/s

Velocity of lump 2 = < 4, 4, -3 > m/s

Momentum of lump 2 = Mass×Velocity

                                    = 0.025×< 4, 4, -3 >

                                    = < 0.1, 0.1, -0.075> kg m/s

Total momentum before impact  =  < -0.05,  0,  0.175 > + < 0.1, 0.1, -0.075>

                                                      = < 0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > kg m/s

⇒p(total) = <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > kg m/s

b)

As we know that,

By the law of conservation of linear momentum,

The total momentum will be the same before and after the collision.

⇒Momentum of the stuck together  after the collision = Total momentum of the lumps just before impact.

⇒ p = <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > kg m/s

c)

Let the final velocity =  v_f

Total mass = 0.025 + 0.025 = 0.05 kg

As

Momentum = mass ×velocity

⇒ <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > = 0.05 ×v_f

⇒ v_f = <0.05, 0.1, 0.1 > / 0.05

          = < 1, 2, 2 > m/s

⇒v_f = < 1, 2, 2 > m/s

12. Why do you think afternoons are much warmer than the mornings or evenings? ​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Afternoons are much warmer than the mornings or evenings is explained below in complete detail.

Explanation:

Because in the afternoon the sun is on the head and the beams of sunshine arrive straight to the earth so we exhibit warmer and in daylight and evening the sun is sparse to the earth so we observe colder than an afternoon. However, in the evening, when the sun is weak, I don't sense or experienced loads of heat and sunburn on body parts that are viewing the sun directly.
