There will not be enough momentum from the first hill to cross another hill if he same or larger size because of the way potential energy and kinetic energy works it will not be able go as high as it could go on he fist hill.
A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.
Answer:
proof in explanation
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:
where,
n = no. of half-lives = ?
t = total time passed = 2100 million years
= half-life = 700 million years
Therefore,
Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (
):
and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (
)
dividing both:
<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>
