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.

Compare the catching of two different water balloons.
Stels [109]

Answer:

a. The volume V₁ and V₂

b. The case that involves the greatest momentum change = Case B

c. The case that involves the greatest impulse = Case B

d. b. The case that involves the greatest force = Case B

Explanation:

Here we have

Case A: V₁ = 150-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

Case B: V₂ = 600-mL, v₁ = 8 m/s

a. The variable that is different for the two cases is the volume V₁ and V₂

b. The momentum change is by the following relation;

ΔM₁ = Mass, m × Δv₁

The mass of the balloon are;

Δv₁ = Change in velocity = Final velocity - Initial velocity

Mass = Density × Volume

Density of water = 0.997 g/mL

Case A, mass = 150 × 0.997 = 149.55 g

Case B, mass = 600 × 0.997 = 598.2 g

The momentum change is;

Case A: Mass, m × Δv₁ = 149.55 g/1000 × 8 m/s = 1.1964 g·m/s

Case B:  Mass, m × Δv₁ = 598.2/1000 × 8 = 4.7856 g·m/s

Therefore Case B has the greatest momentum change

The case that has the gretest momentum change = Case B

c. The momentum change = impulse therefore Case B involves the greatest impulse

d. Here we have;

Impulse = Momentum change = F_{average} × Δt = mΔV

∴ F_{average} = m·ΔV/Δt

∴ For Case A F_{average} = 149.55×8/Δt =  1196.4/Δt N

For Case B  F_{average} = 598.2×8/Δt =  4785.6/Δt

Where Δt is the same for Case A and Case B,  F_{average}  for Case B >>  F_{average}  for Case B

Therefore, Case B involves the greatest force.

Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 104 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), th
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The blue boat traveled 6.1 km farther west than the green boat

The green boat traveled 10.7 km farther south than the blue boat

Explanation:

The equation for linear uniform speed movement is

X(t) = X0 + v * t

Since we have two coordinates (X, Y) we use

X(t) = X0 + vx * t

Y(t) = Y0 + vy * t

The dock will be the origin of coordinates so X0 and Y0 will be zero. The X axis will be pointing west and the Y axis south.

The blue boat moves with a direction 24° south of west, so it will have speeds:

vxb = 104 * cos(24) = 95 km/h

vyb = 104 * sin(24) = 42.3 km/h

And the green boat:

vxg = 104 * cos(37.7) = 82.3 km/h

vyg = 104 * sin(37.7) = 63.6 km/h

After half hour the boats will have arrived at positions

Xb = 95 * 0.5 = 47.5 km

Yb = 42.3 * 0.5 = 21.1 km

And

Xg = 82.3 * 0.5 = 41.4 km

Yg = 63.6 * 0.5 = 31.8 km

The difference in positions of the boats

47.5 - 41.4 = 6.1 km

31.8 - 21.1 = 10.7 km
