<h2>Answer: The nucleus becomes entirely helium.</h2>

To shine, the stars transform their hydrogen into helium by means of nuclear fusion. When at half of its life a star is without hydrogen, the nucleus becomes entirely helium and the star declines, becoming colder and brighter due to the energy generated by the nuclear reactions, then the star begins to contract.

Nevertheless, if the star is bigger, this helium will be also consumed and the nucleus transformed in Carbon, then in Oxigen, and so on. Being the last transformation Iron until the star delivers all its energy.

Note this process will depend on how massive the star is.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

16.5 kwh and 59400 kJ.

Explanation:

kWh is a measure of energy that is equivalent to the power in kw times the number of hours the device worked.

In this case, it would be equal to:

$E_{kwh}=5.5kw*3h=16.5kwh$

1 kw also means 1kj of energy spent per second. With this, we calculate the amount of energy in kJ spent by the resistance:

$E_{kJ}=5.5\frac{kJ}{s}*3h*\frac{3600s}{1h} = 59400 kJ$

An object falls from a high building and hits the ground in 8.0 seconds. Ignoring air resistance, what is the distance that it f

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

310 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 8.0 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (8.0 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (8.0 s)²

Δy = -313.6

Rounded to two significant figures, the object fell 310 meters.
