One, three and five are correct.

Although if the second statement is saying that stars use gravitational force to support nuclear fusion which in turn produces energy then that would be correct, but I don’t think so :)

Answer:

Stars produce energy through nuclear fusion.
Stars are massive objects composed of gas.
Stars are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.

Explanation:

Stars are massive objects that have a large gravitational field, which drives the star to contract on itself, which is why fusion occurs: in the center of the star the nuclei of atoms are already so close due to gravity and high temperatures that bind. This is what is called nuclear fusion and is the energy source of a star.

On the other hand yes, the main elements of a star are hydrogen and helium (two hydrogen nuclei fuse to make helium), this makes the star mainly a huge ball of gas so there is no solid surface where you can stand on.

And about water on a star, that is not possible. Temperatures on stars are very vey high that watter could not exist in a liquid form on them.

a car accelerates from rest at 3.6m/s^2. how much time does it need to attain a speed of 7 m/s? awnser in units of s.

Ivahew [28]

Initial velocity: 0
final velocity: 7 m/s
a = 3.6
t = ?
x = ?

(7-0)/3.6 = t
t = 1.94 s

How would a spinning disk's kinetic energy change if its moment of inertia was five times larger but its angular speed was five

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of a spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.

Explanation:

Let us first consider the initial characteristics of the angular motion of the disk

moment of inertia = $I$

angular speed = ω

For the second case, we consider the characteristics to now be

moment of inertia = $5I$ (five times larger)

angular speed = ω/5 (five times smaller)

Recall that the kinetic energy of a spinning body is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

therefore,

for the first case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Iw^{2}$

and for the second case, the K.E. is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}(5I)(\frac{w}{5} )^{2} = \frac{5}{50}Iw^{2}$

$KE = \frac{1}{10}Iw^{2}$

this is one-tenth the kinetic energy before its spinning characteristics were changed.

This implies that the kinetic energy of the spinning disk will be reduced to a tenth of its initial kinetic energy if its moment of inertia is made five times larger, but its angular speed is made five times smaller.
