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!

In which situation is maximum work considered to be done by a force
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

  • Work done is maximum when the movement of object is in line and direction of force.  

OR

  • Work done is maximum, when displacement takes place along the direction of force.
  • Work done is given by the equation

                                W = F.S

                            <em>     W  = F. S cos Θ</em>

<em>When cos Θ = 0° ; cos 0 = 1</em>

The current in the wires of a circuit is 180.0 milliamps. If the resistance of the circuit were doubled ( with no change in volt
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law, which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the voltage by the current.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Now, we replace the values of the first current into the equation

V = 180*10^-3 * R

V = 0.18*R (1)

Then we have that the resistance is doubled so we have this new equation:

V = I*(2R) (2)

The voltage remains constant therefore 1 and 2 are equals and we can obtain the current value.

V = V

0.18*R = I*2*R

I = 0.09[amp] or 90 [milliamps]
