Nuclear fusion and gravitational contraction

Explanation:

In stars, there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to their own mass, and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in their core, that is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

The radiation pressure is gotten from the nuclear reactions at the core (when lighter elements fuse into heavier elements), but if the nuclear reactions stop, hence, the radiation pressure will also do it and the force of gravity will overcome and break the equilibrium.

Both of that energy sources help to maintain a star's internal thermal pressure, since the contractions of the superficial layers will increase the density at the core.

Fusion and Gravitational attraction

Explanation:

- Fusion reaction:-

Nuclear fusion is a process that combines nuclei in order to release energy. It begins when the temperature in a star reaches about 10,000,000 Kelvin. This temperature occurs as a result of the gravitational contraction of a forming star, causing its gases to heat up and pressure to rise.

- Gravitational attraction:

gravity is the force that creates the pressure to fuse atoms, which makes the stars shine. ... Eventually the temperature is high enough that the star starts fusing hydrogen into helium. When the outward pressure produced by the heating of the gas by fusion energy balances gravity, a stable star is formed.

Answer: a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same sign as the -4.0 µc charge.======electricstatic force between two point charges is given by $f = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$ where k is coulomb's constant, 8.99×10⁹ n·m²/c², q₁ and q₂ are the point charges, and r is the distance between the two point charges.assign positive to q₁let q₁ = 6.0 µc, q₂ = -4.0 µc, q₀ represent the charge at the origin, and q₃ represent this new charge to place.the charge at the origin q₀ would experience the following force f₀₁ from q₁, with r = 6.0 m (note that 1 µc = 10⁻⁶ c) $f_{01} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2}$ the force from q₂ $f_{02} = \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}$ the force from q₃ $f_{03} = \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{26 m})^2}$ the net force on the origin charge, q₀, has to be zero for no electrostatic forcehaving an equation where k and q₀ can be divided out of the equation will allow us to solve for q₃ $\begin{aligned} f_{net} & = 0\\ f_{01} + f_{02} + f_{03} & = 0 \\ \dfrac{kq_0q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{kq_0q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \\ kq_0 \left( \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2}\right) & = 0 \\ \dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = 0 \end{aligned}$ isolating: $\begin{aligned} \dfrac{q_3}{(\text{26 m})^2} & = -\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} - \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2} \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{q_1}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{q_2}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -(\text{26 m})^2\left(\dfrac{6.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{6.0 m})^2} + \dfrac{-4.0\times10^{-6} \text{ c}}{(\text{15 m})^2}\right) \\ q_3 & = -1.0064888 \times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \\ q_3 & = -1.0\times 10^{-4}\text{ c} \end{aligned}$ a charge of -1.0 × 10⁻⁴ c must be placed at x = 26 m.the sign of the charge will be the same as the -4.0 µc charge
