Answer:

A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller atoms.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission and fusion are two processes at which an atomic nucleus is changed to produce energy. Fission is the process splitting heavy atomic into lighter atomic nuclei.

So, fusion is the combination of smaller atoms to form larger atoms and star uses this as source of energy.

Fusion is the process at which light atomic nuclei are merged or fused together to form heavier nuclei.

The energy source for all stars is nuclear fusion. In a nuclear fusion reaction, the nuclei of two atoms combine to create a new atom. Most commonly, in the core of a star, two hydrogen atoms fuse to become a helium atom.

Answer:

Option A) A star uses fusion as an energy source by building larger atoms from smaller ones

Explanation:

The energy source of stars is by nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process whereby two smaller nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus. The sun is an example of a star which is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium atoms. Two hydrogen atoms combine in the core of the star to form a helium atom.

Due to the fusion of hydrogen atoms that takes place in the sun to produce a helium atom, a great amount of heat is provided for the sun to utilize.

Nuclear power plants use heat produced during nuclear fission to heat water. In nuclear fission, atoms are split apart to form smaller atoms, thereby releasing energy.

Answer: M = 1797.75 kg

Explanation:

given parameters are;

speed V = 26.7 M/S.

momentum P = 4.8×10^4 KGM/S.

What was the mass of the V. A-3?

Momentum P is the product of mass and velocity. That is, P = MV

Substitute V and P into the formula

4.8×10^4 = 26.7 × M

Make M the subject of formula

M = 4.8×10^4/ 26.7

M = 1797.75 kg

Therefore, the mass of the V. A-3 was 1797.75 kg

Two runners ran side by side, each holding one end of a horizontal pole. How would this affect the direction of the runners? Exp
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

They will run parallel to each other as the none of a straight pole cannot be bent in such a way where one side can turn without the other turning.

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! A ball is initially thrown downwards with an initial speed of 20 m/s from the top of a 300 m
Sholpan [36]

Using the 3rd equation of motion:

= v² - u² = 2gs ------ [g = Acceleration due to gravity]

= v² - 20² = 2 × 10 × 300

= v² - 400 = 6000

= v² = 6000 - 400

= v = √5600

= v = 74.83 m/s

And yeah it's done :)

The low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions
qwelly [4]

The answer is; pressure

The sound is a longitudinal wave meaning the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves, therefore, produce compression (akin to the crest in a transverse wave) and rarefaction regions (akin to a trough in a transverse wave) as its energy is propagated in the medium.

Consider a horse pulling a buggy. Is the
Degger [83]

Yes, it's true.

But 2nd Newton Law always come to play when the horse is to move forward because obviously the forces interact antagonistically and mass has to be accounted for.

That's what I think. Hope it's right, all the best.
