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.

Calculate the magnitude of the angular momentum of the earth due its daily rotation about its own axis

ioda

$L=Iw$
$I_{earth} = \frac{2}{5} r^{2}m= \frac{2}{5} (6371000^2m)(5.97*10^{24}kg)=9.71*10^ {37}$
$L_{earth}=Iw=(9.71*10^ {37})(7.27*10^{-5})=7.07*10^{33}$ <span>[/tex]</span>

A certain lightning bolt moves 50.0 C of charge. How many units of fundamental charge is this?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: There are number of electrons.
Explanation:
We are given 50 Coulombs of charge and we need to find the number of electrons that can hold this much amount of charge. So, to calculate that we will use the equation:

where,
n = number of electrons
Charge of one electron =
Q = Total charge = 50 C.
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Hence, there are number of electrons.

Give an example of how electrical energy and thermal energy are connected.

mafiozo [28]

A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).
Hopefully this helped.
