Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle). READ THIS AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I THINK IS TRUE

Answer : The given statement is True.

Explanation -

Nuclear fusion is a thermonuclear reaction in which light stable nuclei combine with each other in order to form a heavy stable nucleus with the release of large amount of energy.

In case of stars, four hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form a helium nucleus with a release of 26 Mev per cycle.

Thus, nuclear fusion occurs in stars is true statement.

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at 10.8 m/s2 . what is its speed at the end of a 400 m long runway?

Cloud [144]

The final speed of an airplane is v = 92.95 m/s

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction is known as speed i.e. in other word, Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.

Solution-

Here given,

Acceleration a= 10.8 m/s2 .

Displacement (s)= 400m

Then to find final speed of airplane v=?

Therefore from equation of motion can be written as,

v²=u²+ 2as

where, u is initial speed, v is final speed ,a is acceleration and s is displacement of the airplane. Therefore by putting the value of a & s in above equation and (u =0) i.e. the initial speed of airplane is zero.

v²= 2×10.8 m/s²×400m

v²=8640m/s

v=92.95m/s

hence the final speed of airplane v =92.95m/s

My name is Ann [436]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts about the ideal gas equation and the volume in the cube.

However, for this case the Boyle equation will not be used, but the one that corresponds to the Boltzmann equation for ideal gas, in this way it is understood that
