Answer:

Helium Capture

Explanation:

The answer is "iron fusion".

In fact, initially all stars burn hydrogen through nuclear fusion. As they run out of hydrogen, they start to burn the next heavier element, which is helium. The very massive stars continue this cycle, and when they run out of helium they start to burn the heavier elements until reaching iron. This element represents the end of the chain, because nuclear fusion of iron does not release energy, but it absorbs energy. This means that the star can't produce energy anymore and eventually it collapses.

A mass is oscillating on the end of a spring. The distance, y, of the mass from its equilibrium point is given by the formula y=
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(a.) 4z

(b.) 4w

Explanation:

From the equation y=4zcos(8πwt), where z and w are positive constants.

Comparing this equation to the equation of a wave y = Acos(Wt), where A is the amplitude (largest distance from equilibrium) and W is the angular frequency (W=2πf)

(a.) Comparing our wave equation with the given equation, we see that A = 4z in this case (furthest distance of the mass from equilibrium)

(b.) Comparing similarly we can see from our given equation that angular frequency W =8πw we also know that W = 2πf from our wave equation, therefore 2πf = 8πw

Solving for f we have f = 8πw÷2π

f = 4w (Proves our second answer because the frequency is the number of oscillations completed per second)

Answer:

A) The net force

Explanation:

If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.
