Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

The event in the life of a star that begins its expansion into a giant is its core that was hot enough for fusion reaction.

<h3>What is fusion reaction?</h3>

Nuclear fusion is a type of reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei are fuse to form one or more different atomic nuclei with the release or the absorption of energy.

So we can conclude that the event in the life of a star that begins its expansion into a giant is its core that was hot enough for fusion reaction.

Leni [432]

Answer:

Geocentric model of the universe

Explanation:

In the geocentric model of the universe, the earth is the center of the universe. This theory was later replaced by the heliocentric model which places the sun as the center.

This belief was propagated by the ancient Greeks. The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by Ptolemy.

The model suggests that other planetary bodies orbits the earth.
