Nuclear fusion in the core tries to blow the star apart. Gravity holds it together. Whoever designed that system really knew what he was doing. I'm kinda grateful to him.
Answer:
-6112.26 J
Explanation:
The initial kinetic energy,
is given by
} where m is the mass of a body and
is the initial velocity
The final kinetic energy,
is given by
where
is the final velocity
Change in kinetic energy,
is given by

Since the skater finally comes to rest, the final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for
and 12.6 m/s for
and 77 Kg for m we obtain

From work energy theorem, work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy hence for this case work done equals <u>-6112.26 J</u>
Well, im pretty sure that when we do touch eachother, the atoms themselves are touching. idk if this is what ur looking for but hope this helps.
