Approximately what core temperature is required before hydrogen fusion can begin in a star?

Physics
1 answer:
valkas [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The temperature required is near about 3 million kelvin

Explanation:

The brilliance of the star results from the nuclear reaction that take place in the core of the star and radiate a huge amount of thermal energy resulting from the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

For this reaction to take place, the temperature of the star's core must be near about 3 million kelvin.

The hydrogen atoms collide and starts and the energy from the collision results in the heating of the gas cloud. As the temperature comes to near about 1.5\times 10^{7 {\circ}C, the nuclear fusion reaction takes place in the core of the gas cloud.

The huge amount of thermal energy from the nuclear reaction gives the gas cloud a brilliance resulting in a protostar.

As an tempature decreases what happens to the rate of radiation?
Firlakuza [10]
As the temperature decreases, the rate of radiation goes down, but the radiation exists as long as the temperature is above the absolute zero, which is actually 0 Kelvin. 0 Kelvin equals -273°C or -460°F. All objects in the world radiate if above that temperature.

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?
sasho [114]
The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this- 

\frac{1}{2.2} = \frac{40}{x}

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.
