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.

What happens to the object if the line crosses the x-axis from the positive portion of a velocity versus time diagram?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A velocity time graph shows the change of velocity of an object with respect ot time. If the slope of the graph is increasing in the postive region, it means that the velocity is changing, if the slope is decreasing, it means the the velocity is decreasing, but the object is moving in the same direction (positve direction).

If this slope intersects the graph at x-axis, it means that the body has 0 velocity and has become still. After that, if the line enters in the negative region, it means that its velocity is started to increases again, but the body is movinging in the opposite direction (negative direction)

In the z-scheme ____ is the initial electron donor and ____ is the final electron acceptor.

Alenkinab [10]

In the z-scheme, water is the initial electron donor and NADP+ is the final electron acceptor.

Explanation: 

It is a process of photosynthesis. It occurs in photosynthetic chemical reaction. The z scheme is basically a term for representing the oxidation and reduction reaction occurring in plants during photosynthesis.

The water present in the chlorophyll pigment donates electrons and become the initial electron donor. Those electrons get transferred to NADP+ and forms NADPH. Thus, water acts as electron donor initially and so the final electron is NADP+.

Ml(d^2θ/dt^2) =-mgθ

Nata [24]

The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

$\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\dfrac{g}{\ell}\sin\theta,$

where $\ell$ it its length and $g$ is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for small angles ( $\theta \ll 1$ ), we can use:

$\sin\theta \simeq \theta.$

Additionally, let us define:

$\omega^2\equiv\dfrac{g}{\ell}.$

We can now write:

$\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\omega^2\theta.$

The solution to this differential equation is:

$\theta(t) = A\sin(\omega t + \phi),$

where $A$ and $\phi$ are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{\ell}}.$

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
