What two physical processes balance each other to create the condition known as gravitational equilibrium in stars?

Physics
1 answer:
dusya [7]3 years ago
3 0

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.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.
