What allows a star to remain in stellar equilibrium?

Physics
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A star is in equilibrium when the pressures inside the star balance out the force of gravity. The pressure is thermal pressure resulting from the fusion reactions taking place in the star's core. A star stays in equilibrium until the supply of hydrogen in the core is depleted.

In a stable star, the gas pressure pushing out from the center is equal with the gravity pulling atoms inward to the center – when these forces are equal, the star is at equilibrium. Once a star reaches equilibrium for the first time, it will start burning (fusing) hydrogen into helium.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}} (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

v= \lambda f (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\lambda f

Solving for T

T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L} (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic N_{harmonic} is:

\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}

T=75.22 N

4. If a charged body is negatively charged, it has excess of _______
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged sub-atomic particles, therefore when a body's negatively charged, it means that there's more electrons than protons.

A block of mass
Gennadij [26K]

(a) The work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

(b) The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

(c) The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

(d) The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

W = Fdcosθ

W = 14 x 2.1 x cos25

W = 26.65 J

<h3>Work done by the normal force</h3>

W = Fₙd

W = mg cosθ x d

W = (2.5 x 9.8) x cos(90) x 2.1

W = 0 J

<h3>Work done force of gravity</h3>

The work done by force of gravity is also zero, since the weight is at 90⁰ to the displacement.

<h3> Work done by the net force on the block</h3>

∑W = 0 + 26.65 J = 26.65 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

Intro to Springs and Hooke’s law
wel
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.
