Explanation:

It is gravity because the sun's gravity pulls all the planets towards itself and keeps the planets in the sun's orbit

What pushes against gravity in: a main sequence star, a white dwarf, a neutron star, and a black hole? electron degeneracy, neut

Inga [223]

Answer:

heat pressure, electron degeneracy, neutron degeneracy, and nothing

Explanation:

Main Sequence Star: It is a star in which nuclear fusion is happening in the core of the star. Hydrogen molecules fuse together to generate Helium. This nuclear fusion generates outward gas pressure and radiation pressure which balances the inward gravity thus creating an equilibrium which keeps the stars in shape.

White dwarf: It is the end stage of a medium sized star like the Sun. Outer layers of the star are thrown in the form a shell/bubble leaving a small and dense core in the center called as white dwarf. This core consists of carbon and oxygen. Nuclear fusion doesn't occur in the core of white dwarfs. The inward gravity is balanced by the electron degeneracy pressure. Thus these stars will keep on radiating the remaining heat and will turn in to a black dwarf at the end.

Neutron Star: This is the end stage of a supermassive star (1-3 times the mass of the Sun). At the last stage of the life the core collapses. In these stars the inward gravity is so huge that the pressure overcomes the electron degeneracy pressure and crushes together the electron and proton to form neutron. The neutron then stops the collapse and balances the inward gravity.

Black Hole: This is the end stage of a hyper massive stars weighing more than 3 times the mass of the Sun. The inward gravitational force is so huge that even the neutrons are not able to stop the collapse the core. thus the mass of the star collapses into a very small area of immense gravity. There is nothing that can balance this inward gravity.

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.

An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
Force (F) = 12 N
Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

$\boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}$

Replace in the formula:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}$

Equate the newtons:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}$

Simplify m/s²:

$\boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{m =1.5kg}$

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is <u>1.5 kilograms.</u>

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.046 mm apart. Successive fringes on a screen 6.20 m away are 8.9 cm apart n

Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
