Why do you think that it’s fairly easy for the sun to fuse hydrogen atoms, but a lot harder to fuse helium atoms?

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

noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

A boat having stones floats in water. If stones are unloaded in water, what will happen to the level of water?​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

If the stones are unloaded from the boat, the weight of the boat will decrease. Therefore, the volume of the water displaced by the boat will also decrease. Due to this, the volume of the boat immersed in the water decreases. Hence, the level of the water around the boat will decrease.
