Hydrostatic and Equilibrium
What else can I help you with?
What is the balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing called?
The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing is called hydrostatic equilibrium. This equilibrium occurs when the outward pressure generated by nuclear fusion in the star's core balances the inward gravitational force trying to collapse the star. If these forces are not balanced, the star may either contract under gravity or expand until a new equilibrium is reached.
What do you call The balance of forces that keeps a star from collapsing?
Dynamic equilibrium.
When The balance of forces that keep a star from collapsing is called?
The balance of forces that keep a star from collapsing is called hydrostatic equilibrium. This equilibrium is maintained between the inward force of gravity and the outward force generated by gas pressure within the star.
What two forces are working against each other in a star?
In a star, the force of gravity is trying to collapse the star inward, while the pressure from nuclear fusion in the core creates an outward force, resisting the gravitational collapse. These two forces are balanced in a stable star, leading to a state of equilibrium.
What are the two types of equilibrium and how are they different?
The two types of equilibrium are static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium. Static equilibrium is when an object is at rest, while dynamic equilibrium is when an object is moving at a constant velocity with no acceleration. Static equilibrium involves balanced forces in all directions, while dynamic equilibrium involves balanced forces with movement.
When a star's inward gravity and outward pressure are balance the star is said to be?
Hydrostatic equilibrium occurs when compression due to gravity is balanced by a pressure gradient which creates a pressure gradient force in the opposite direction. The balance of these two forces is known as the hydrostatic balance.
If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium what is the relation between any one of the three forces and the resultant of the other two forces?
If three concurrent forces are in equilibrium, then each force is proportional to the resultant of the other two forces. This means that the magnitude and direction of each force are determined by the other two forces, ensuring that the system remains in equilibrium.
If there are two equal and opposite forces on something you say the forces are?
You say that the two forces are in equilibrium.
How Discribe the opposing forces that act inside a star?
Inside a star, there are two opposing forces at play: gravity tries to pull the stellar material inward, compressing it, while the force of nuclear fusion in the star's core pushes outward, generating energy and counteracting gravity to maintain the star's stability. These forces must balance each other for the star to remain in a state of equilibrium.
When two forces are equal what do we say?
When two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, we say they are balanced or in equilibrium.
When two unbalanced forces cancel each other out they are in?
The forces are said to be in equilibrium in that case.
What is another word for balanced forces?
Equilibrium.
