I am a bit confused regarding the nuclear fusion that occurs during star formation. For example, suppose there is a huge hydrogen cloud. It gets more mass and therefore pulls in more and more hydrogen, but it could just do this endlessly and get endlessly big. What causes it to stop growing? Is it because of the heat generated by the huge mass?

If you have 2 flashlights, one facing North and one facing South, how fast are the photons (or lightbeams) from both flashlights moving away from one another?
Just adding speeds would yield 2C, but that's not possible as far as I know.
The reference frame here would be the place where the flashlights are and/or .The beams relative to one another.

A ball is thrown at a relative velocity of $3 m / s$ in $+ v e$ $x -$ direction in a rocket in gravity free space. The rocket has a constant acceleration of $2 m / s^{2}$ also in $+ v e$ $x -$ direction.
Whether uniform acceleration equations of motion would apply in above case when using the rocket as a frame of reference. As an example, would the equation $s = u t + .5 a t^{2}$ apply if rocket is taken as frame of reference?

Is Planck temperature really the highest temperature?
Actually I was learning about Wien's displacement law. It states that
$λ T = 2.898 \times 10^{- 3} m K$
This is actually a part of Planck's law where the Planck's constant originated.
Now Planck's temperature is given as
$T_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{h c^{5}}{2 π G k_{b}^{2}}} = 1.416 \times 10^{32} K$
Now Planck's length is $1.616 \times 10^{- 35} m$
Now since the smallest possible wavelength is Planck's length, we can say wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation is Planck's length (Assume the energy doesn't create a black hole).
Now according to Wien's displacement law,
$l_{p} T = 2.898 \times 10^{- 3} m K$
Now solving this we get $1.79 \times 10^{32} K$ , which is higher than the actual Planck's temperature.
Since this displacement law is completely derived from Planck's law, it bit frustrated me. I'm a bit confused. Is it the limit of the displacement law or my flaw?
Please rectify this.
(Sorry if I made any mistake. I'm new to this one. Please explain my mistake. I'm glad to hear that.)

An open tank has a vertical partition and on one side contains gasoline with a density $p = 700 \frac{k g}{m^{3}}$ at a depth of 4m. Arectangular gate that is 4 m high and 2 m wide and hinged at one end is located in the partition. Water is slowly added to the empty side of the tank. At what depth, h, will the gate start to open?

When a gas is taken from a to c along the curved path in the figure (Figure 1) , the work done by the gas is W = -40 J and the heat added to the gas is Q = -140 J . Along path abc, the work done by the gas is W = -50 J . (That is, 50 J of work is done on the gas.)
I keep on missing Part D. The answer for part D is not -150,150,-155,108,105( was close but it said not quite check calculations)

A majorette in a parade is performing some acrobatic twirlingsof her baton. Assume that the baton is a uniform rod of mass 0.120 kg and length 80.0 cm.
With a skillful move, the majorette changes the rotation ofher baton so that now it is spinning about an axis passing throughits end at the same angular velocity 3.00 rad/s as before. What is the new angularmomentum of the rod?

The majority of Physics equations are not overly complex since they are based on questions that are either related to some theory or focus on a specific experiment. You will find a plethora of answers that will help you understand the main concepts from college physics to more complex engineering tasks that are quite specific. If you are dealing with equations, the solutions will let you compare things to what you have and find an answer. There will also be questions that are more verbal in nature, meaning that they go beyond the formulas, so ensure to check them, too!
