Answer:

gravitational force and outward pressure

Explanation:

The stars are very massive stellar objects, so they have a strong gravitational force, which drives the star to contract itself, but also in stars there are nuclear reactions such as fusion of hydrogen and other elements, that releases energy and creates a pressure from the center to the star exterior, an outward pressure that goes against the gravitational force. So when a star is stable these two forces exist in equilibrium or in balance, in which the star does not collapse by gravity or disintegrate by its outward pressure.

How will you show that white light is made of several colours?

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Newton passed sunlight through a glass prism to separate the colors into a rainbow spectrum. He then passed sunlight through a second glass prism and combined the two rainbows. The combination produced white light. His simple experiment proved conclusively that white light is a mixture of colors.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

$EMF = 1684.67 Volts$

Explanation:

As we know that EMF is induced in a closed conducting loop if the flux linked with the loop is changing with time

So we can say

$EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt}$

now we have

$\phi = BA$

here since magnetic field is constant so we have

$EMF = A\frac{dB}{dt}$

now we have

$A = (190 \times 10^3)(190 \times 10^3)$

$A = 3.61 \times 10^{10} m^2$

now we have

$EMF = 3.61\times 10^{10} (\frac{2.8 \times 10^{-6}T}{60 s})$

$EMF = 1684.67 Volts$

Why is gravitational forces equal for everyone?

Alik [6]

That equation is Newton's universal law of gravitation. ... Any two masses exert equal-and-opposite gravitational forces on each other. If we drop a ball, the Earth exerts a gravitational force on the ball, but the ball exerts a gravitational force of the same magnitude (and in the opposite direction) on the Earth.
