Answer: Because it involves a process called the proton-proton chain.

Explanation:

Two protons (hydrogen-1) fuse together, producing deuterium (hydrogen-2) and other particles plus energy,Deuterium (hydrogen-2) and a proton (hydrogen-1) fuse, producing helium-3 and energy,Two helium-3 nuclei fuse together, producing helium-4, two protons (hydrogen-1), and energy,Helium-3 fuses with helium-4, producing beryllium-7, which decays and then fuses with another proton (hydrogen-1) to yield two helium-4 nuclei plus energy

Zoey ran a total of 1000m. 20 seconds into her run she had traveled 100 meters. What was her speed at 100 meters?
leva [86]
Let's assume that Zoey ran at a constant speed. we can use the equation,
 d = st
where, d = distance, s = speed, and t = time taken.

By rearranging,
 s = d/t
Zoey had travelled 100 m in 20 seconds.
Hence, s = 100 m / 20 s = 5 m/s

therefore Zoey's speed at 100 m is 5 m/s
