Star Twinkle but planet do not why

Answer:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye is not dectiable therefore planets do not twinkle.

Explanation:Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why? Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. ... Planets shine more steadily because … they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

Do you think that nuclear fusion takes place in the atmospheres of stars? Why or why not?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Yes, why has been explained

Explanation:

Yes, Fusion takes place in the atmosphere of stars. Mostly stars are composed of hydrogen and helium, small quantity of other heavier elements.

The stars get their energy by the fusion reaction that continuously takes place inside them. The fusion of two hydrogen molecules to form a helium molecule. This reaction generates enormous amount of heat and light, which why the stars are so shiny and hot.

Identify the following as a suspension or a colloid. sand in water

sashaice [31]

I would say that sand in water is a suspension as you can see the particles with the naked eye or a microscope. Also, the solution will settle if left alone and the sand will sink to the bottom.

starting from rest , a formula one car accelerates uniformly at 25m\s2 for 30secs. what distance does it cover in the last one s

Anestetic [448]

The distance covered in the last second of motion is 737.5 m

Explanation:

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the suvat equations.

First of all, we have to find the velocity of the car when the last second of motion starts, that is the velocity of the car after t = 29 s. We can use the equation:

v = u + at

where

u = 0 is the initial velocity

$a=25 m/s^2$ is the acceleration
