From research I found that the <span>fossil fuel resources are sometimes referred to as "buried sunshine" because they make the earth warm. They are also found deep in the earth and the energy stored in them was obtained from the sun long ago, and that's because they also produce energy the same way the sun does.

Hope this is the answer you were looking for and that it helps. :)</span>

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

A race car has a centripetal acceleration of 13.33 m/s^2 as it goes around a curve. if the curve is a circle with a radius 30 m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The speed of the car, v = 19.997 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The centripetal acceleration of the car, a = 13.33 m/s²

The radius of the curve, r = 30 m

The centripetal force acting on the car is given by the formula

                                   F = mv²/r

Where    v²/r is the acceleration component of the force

                                       a = v²/r

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                        13.33 = v²/30

                                         v² = 13.33 x 30

                                         v² = 399.9

                                         v = 19.997 m/s

Hence, the speed of the car, v = 19.997 m/s

21. Compare and contrast beta particles to the electrons that surround neutral atoms.
stiv31 [10]
Beta particles come from the nucleus. Electrons are found around the nucleus.
Beta particles normally travel very fast out of a nucleus in a straight line. Electrons normally orbit the nucleus of an atom.

They both have the same mass and the same charge.
