Answer:

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Explanation:

The body travels the first half of the distance with velocity v₁.  The time it takes is:

t₁ = (d/2) / v₁

t₁ = d / (2v₁)

Similarly, the body travels the second half with velocity v₂, so the time is:

t₂ = (d/2) / v₂

t₂ = d / (2v₂)

The average velocity is the total displacement over total time:

v = d / t

v = d / (t₁ + t₂)

v = d / (d / (2v₁) + d / (2v₂))

v = d / (d/2 (1/v₁ + 1/v₂))

v = 2 / (1/v₁ + 1/v₂)

v = 2 / ((v₁ + v₂) / (v₁ v₂))

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Approximately what core temperature is required before hydrogen fusion can begin in a star?
valkas [14]

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.
