A main sequence star does not expand or contract due to the balance between the internal heat pushing outward and the weight of

the material pressing inward due to gravity. This state of maintaining a constant size is known as:

The correct answer to this question is hydrostatic equilbrium

A main sequence star is always under two equal and self regulating force acting in opposite direction.These are named as force of gravity and pressure due to internal heat.

The star has its own gravity which is destabilizing in nature.It tries to compress the star.It acts in vertically downward direction.

Due to the force of gravity,the star might have collapsed into a black hole which is not happening exactly.The star produces its energy from fusion reaction where hydrogen is converted into helium.In this reaction,much more amount of heat is produced.This increases the internal pressure pushing the star in outward direction.The outward pressure and the inward force of gravity balance each other.

Due to this the balance a hydrostatic equilibrium is maintained inside the star.

Answer: Hydrostatic equilibrium

A main sequence star is a stable one. There is no overall change. This is because the gravity  of the material acting inward is balanced by the pressure gradient of the fluid acting outward. The star is made of gases. Its a fluid system. This kind of equilibrium is known as hydro-static equilibrium.

Which actions most likely cause the domains in a ferromagnetic material to align?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A ferromagnetic material is a temporary magnet. The domains in a ferromagnetic material are randomly arranged. Under certain actions, the domains align in a particular direction and the material acts as a magnet. The actions that can cause alignment of domains in a ferromagnetic material are:

  • rubbing the material against a magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the same direction as of the magnet.
  • passing electricity around the material would generate magnetic field which would cause domains to align along the direction of the field.
  • placing the material near a strong magnet would cause the alignment of domains in the direction of the field generated by the strong magnet.

Other actions like heating the material,  placing the material in a magnetic field of opposite polarity and hitting the material would lead to demagnetization of the magnetic material.

A solid uniform sphere of mass 1.85 kg and diameter 45.0 cm spins about an axle through its center. Starting with an angular vel
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The net torque is 0.0372 N m.

Explanation:

A rotational body with constant angular acceleration satisfies the kinematic equation:

\omega^{2}=\omega_{0}^{2}+2\alpha\Delta\theta (1)

with ω the final angular velocity, ωo the initial angular velocity, α the constant angular acceleration and Δθ the angular displacement (the revolutions the sphere does). To find the angular acceleration we solve (1) for α:

\frac{\omega^{2}-\omega_{0}^{2}}{2\Delta\theta}=\alpha

Because the sphere stops the final angular velocity is zero, it's important all quantities in the SI so 2.40 rev/s = 15.1 rad/s and 18.2 rev = 114.3 rad, then:

\alpha=-\frac{-(15.1)^{2}}{2(114.3)}=1.00\frac{rad}{s^{2}}

The negative sign indicates the sphere is slowing down as we expected.

Now with the angular acceleration we can use Newton's second law:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=I\overrightarrow{\alpha} (2)

with ∑τ the net torque and I the moment of inertia of the sphere, for a sphere that rotates about an axle through its center its moment of inertia is:

I = \frac{2MR^{2}}{5}

With M the mass of the sphere an R its radius, then:

I = \frac{2(1.85)(\frac{0.45}{2})^{2}}{5}=0.037 kg*m^2

Then (2) is:

\sum\overrightarrow{\tau}=0.037(-1.00)=0.037 Nm

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it
vredina [299]

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma...(I)

Using formula of friction force

F= \mu m g....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

ma=\mu mg....(III)

a = \mu g

Put the value in the equation (III)

a=0.24\times9.8

a=2.352\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2

s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m

Hence, The distance is 11 m.

three neutral metal cans mounted on isulating stands are touching a negatively charge ballon is brought near can a can b is then
Nimfa-mama [501]
Charge on can A is positive. 
Charge on can C is negative.  
Punctuation and capitalization are very useful things to pay attention to and this question would be a lot easier to understand if you had actually used both capitalization and punctuation. If I'm understanding the question, you have 3 metal can that are insulated from the environment and initially touching each other in a straight line. Then a negatively charged balloon is brought near, but not touching one of the cans in that line of cans. While the balloon is near, the middle can is removed. Then you want to know the charge on the can that was nearest the balloon and the charge on the can that was furthermost from the balloon. 
 As the balloon is brought near to can a, the negative charge on the balloon repels some of the electrons from can a (like charges repel). Some of those electrons will flow to can b and in turn flow to can c. Basically you'll have a charge gradient that's most positive on that part of the can that's closest to the balloon, and most negative on the part of the cans that's furthest from the balloon. You then remove can B which causes cans A and C to be electrically isolated from each other and prevents the flow of elections to equalize the charges on cans A and C when the balloon is removed. So you're left with a deficiency of electrons on can A, so can A will have a positive overall charge, and an excess of electrons on can C, so can C will have a negative overall charge.
