Celestial bodies in the universe like the stars, gain their energy by nuclear fusion. This is a nuclear reaction that emits radiation by joining subatomic particles together to yield another new element. This cause by instability of certain elements due to their high neutron-to-proton ratio. The most stable element there is, is Fe-26. Elements lighter than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fusion (combining), while elements heavier than Fe-26 are most likely to undergo nuclear fission (breaking). 

So that is how the Sun gains its energy. It is very abundant in hydrogen, such that hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion. Two protons from two hydrogen atoms combine at very very high temperatures to form a Helium atom. Therefore, a high-mass star life is very abundant in Hydrogen, while a low-mass star life is very abundant in Helium.

List the 3 types of collisions that occur when your vehicle hits an object.
koban [17]

These collisions are: "a Vehicle Collision, a Human Collision, Internal Collision." A vehicle collision is a collision that involves two or more vehicles and is when the vehicles collide against each other creating a unbalanced force since how the force comes from opposite directions. A human collision would involve a vehicle and a human which would also be a unbalanced force but the human wouldn't have much affect of it's speed. A internal collision is when something happens inside the vehicle which decreases, or increases the vehicles speed.

Hope this helps!

What do these letters stand for<br> P=mv
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The equation for momentum of a piece of matter.

In either case, the momentum would be less than a linebacker hitting you at full speed. The equation for momentum is written: p = mv where p stands for momentum. That is, mass times velocity equals momentum.

How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 6526 kg car vertically upwards at 8.9 m/s^2?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The value is T =  122036.2 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is  m  = 6526 \  kg

      The acceleration  is  a=  8.9 \  m/s^2

Generally the net force applied on the rope is mathematically represented as

          F_{net}   =  T -  W

Here W is the weight of the car which is evaluated as

         W =  m * g

=>      W =  6526  * 9.8

=>       W =  63954.8 \  N

Generally the net force can also be mathematically represented as

       F =  m * a

So

        m * a  =  T  -  63954.8

=>     6526  *  8.9 =  T  -  63954.8

=>      T =  122036.2 \  N
