Hydrogen atoms in a nebula move towards each other due to the force of gravity.
As the atoms move towards each other, their .......................................................................................... energy
store increases, which increases the temperature. If the temperature becomes
high enough, nuclear fusion of hydrogen will start and the star enters the
.......................................................................................... stage of its evolution.
When hydrogen fusion stops in the core of the star, the core of the star will start to
.......................................................................................... . This increases the temperature in a layer
surrounding the core. Hydrogen fusion restarts in a layer surrounding the core.
This causes the star to .......................................................................................... and its surface temperature
decreases. The star is now a red super giant. Eventually nuclear fusion stops in the
core of the star and the star explodes as a .......................................................................................... .
The core of the star collapses to form either a .......................................................................................... or a
black hole.

2 (a) A speed camera is positioned at the side of a road.
© Darryl Sleath/Shutterstock
The camera measures the speed of a vehicle on the road to determine whether
the vehicle is travelling too fast.
The camera takes two photographs of the vehicle 0.25 s apart.
The photographs are used to measure the distance travelled by the vehicle during
this time.
(i) State the formula linking average speed, distance moved and time taken.
(1)
(ii) In the time between the two photographs, the car travels a distance of 6.5 m.
Calculate the average speed of the car.
(2)
average speed = ............................................................ m/s
(iii) The speed limit of the road is 80 kilometres per hour.
Determine whether the car is exceeding the speed limit.
