<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction
</h2>
Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.
Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.
To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.
It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.
It will possibly be A) chemical b/c it can make a sound like when the bar hits the ball it makes a sound correct?! and also it created heat especially when it hits the ball. and when the ball MOVES and the bar HITS it creates kinetic energy, but when you hit the ball it doesn’t create a new substance.
Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of 
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:
where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with
(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus
Taking log on both the sides:
t = 387.69 yrs
Answer: in the smaller/ thinner pieces.
