If a star's temperature increases in its interior, then more nuclear reactions will occur to push the star outward and its temperature will drop, causing the star to contract and eventually return to equilibrium

A small block of mass m can slide along the frictionless loop-theloop. The block is released from rest at point P, at height h = 5R above the bottom of the loop. How much work does the gravitational force do on the block as the block travels from point P to
(a) point Q and
(b) the top of the loop?
If the gravitational potential energy of the block–Earth system is taken to be zero at the bottom of the loop, what is that potential energy when the block is
(c) at point P,
(d) at point Q, and
(e) at the top of the loop?
(f) If, instead of being released, the block is given some initial speed downward along the track, do the answers to (a) through (e) increase, decrease, or remain the same?
To a reasonable approximation, the density of a nucleus
A) varies unpredictably for different values of Z. B) is independent of the mass number. C) is greater for large-Z nuclei. D) is smaller for large-Z nuclei.
