Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

The solubility of the salt. : 24 g/100 g solvent(water)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
48 gram of a salt in 200 gram of water at 35°C
Required
The solubility of the salt.
Solution
Solubility : the amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent
Can be formulated(for 100 g solution)⇒grams solute per 100 g of solvent(100 ml water)
Input the value :
Perception is the sensory experience of the world. It involves both recognizing environmental stimuli and actions in response to these stimuli. Through the perceptual process, we gain information about the properties and elements of the environment that are critical to our survival.
1) 29.5 N/m
2) 0.100 m
Explanation:
1)
The force constant of the spring can be found by using the fact that the force on the spring is proportional to the extension of the spring (Hooke's Law). Therefore, we can write:
where
is the change in the force on the spring, where
is the force applied when the hanging mass is
is the force applied when the hanging mass is
is the change in extension of the spring, where
is the extension of the spring when the hanging mass is 0.300 kg
is the extension of the spring when the hanging mass is 1.95 kg
Solving for k,
2)
When the first mass is hanging on the spring, we have
where:
is the force applied on the spring (the weight of the hanging mass)
k is the spring constant
is the extension of the spring wrt its natural length
is the natural length of the spring (the unloaded length)
Here we have
k = 29.5 N/m
Solving for , we find:
The reaction that releases energy is called an EXOTHERMIC process. This is a word from the prefix exo- which means to exit and from the root word therm which is a unit of heat which in turn is form of energy. This is the opposite process of ENDOTHERMIC process.
