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!

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
Irina18 [472]

I was about to say:  because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science. 

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news.  Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it.  The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned.  But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

One of the important waste products of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Where does this oxygen gas come from?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

End product of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo in the manufacture of their food. This is done in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by their coloring pigment called chlorophyll and reactants such as Carbon dioxide and Water.

6CO2+6H2O= C6H12O6+ 6O2

The oxygen gas which is a waste product of photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and used by animals in respiration.
