Answer:

Fusion and Gravitational attraction

Explanation:

- Fusion reaction:-

Nuclear fusion is a process that combines nuclei in order to release energy. It begins when the temperature in a star reaches about 10,000,000 Kelvin. This temperature occurs as a result of the gravitational contraction of a forming star, causing its gases to heat up and pressure to rise.

- Gravitational attraction:

gravity is the force that creates the pressure to fuse atoms, which makes the stars shine. ... Eventually the temperature is high enough that the star starts fusing hydrogen into helium. When the outward pressure produced by the heating of the gas by fusion energy balances gravity, a stable star is formed.

Answer:

Nuclear fusion and gravitational contraction

Explanation:

In stars, there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to their own mass, and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in their core, that is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

The radiation pressure is gotten from the nuclear reactions at the core (when lighter elements fuse into heavier elements), but if the nuclear reactions stop, hence, the radiation pressure will also do it and the force of gravity will overcome and break the equilibrium.

Both of that energy sources help to maintain a star's internal thermal pressure, since the contractions of the superficial layers will increase the density at the core.

Answer:

Let's explain this briefly.

Suppose that we have a piece of ice (this is, solid water) now we give energy to the piece of ice, so the temperature of the ice increases. There is a point where the piece of ice will start a change of phase, at this point the temperature of the ice stops increasing because all the energy we give to the ice is used in the change of phase.

Once we have a complete change of phase, the temperature can increase again, and now we will have liquid water.

If we keep increasing the temperature we will see this happen again, when we have the transition from liquid to gas.

(and a similar thing happen when we have a material in a given phase and we remove heat from the material).

In the images we can see the different changes of phase of water.

1) In the first image we can see the circle in a part where the temperature is constant, so the temperature does not change in this part, which means that there is a change of phase happening.

2) Here we have the circle in a diagonal line, so here the temperature is changing, meaning that we have an increase of temperature in this region.

3) Here we want to know what the x-axis represents, this should rerpesent the energy that is being given to the material (so in some parts we see that the temperature increases and in other parts we see that the material changes of phase)

Then here the correct option is heat over time.

4) The freezing point is the temperature in which the change of phase from liquid to solid happens (or solid to liquid).

In the graph we can see that this change of phase happens at the temperature T = -210°C

Then the correct option is -210°C (The last option)

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.92 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 2.5 g

Volume = 1.3 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{2.5}{1.3}  \\  = 1.923076...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.92 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
