The 'boot' process of an Operating System brings it up from a cold or warm sequence, such as power on, or a software initiated reset. It has to bring in the software into memory and get all of the processes running. Once it is down with the 'boot' the system is ready for users to do work.

'Mounting' in Unix refers to mounting a filesystem, i.e. bringing it online for use. The system obviously has to be up and running for this to occur, so a boot process has to complete before you can mount a file system.

What is the difference between emission and absorption?

Emission is the process where an object releases energy (such as light) while absorption is the process where an object takes in energy (such as light). In emission, energy is being emitted from the object, whereas in absorption, energy is being absorbed by the object.


What process that create energy in stars?

The primary process that creates energy in stars is nuclear fusion. In the core of stars, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what allows stars to shine and produce heat and light.


Transfer of heat through space?

Heat transfer through space occurs through radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry energy from a hot object to a cooler one without the need for a medium. This process is governed by Stefan-Boltzmann's law, which describes how the rate of heat transfer via radiation is proportional to the fourth power of the temperature difference between the objects. Examples include the Sun's energy reaching Earth through space or the heat from a fire warming objects in a room.


What happens when the sun hydrogen atoms join to became helium atoms?

The process of hydrogen atoms fusing together to form helium atoms is known as nuclear fusion. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light, which is what powers the sun and other stars. This process also helps maintain the balance between the inward force of gravity and the outward force of energy, keeping the sun stable.


What is the interaction between the sun and producers?

Producers (plants) use sunlight for photosynthesis to convert it into energy. This process allows producers to create their own food, which in turn fuels the rest of the food chain. The sun is essential for the survival and growth of producers.

Difference between booting and mounting process?

"Booting" refers to the process is bringing a machine up, usually from the power-on standpoint. The boot process brings in the operating system a piece at a time and initializes the system. The final part of a boot process is usually the log-in screen."Mounting" refers to adding a file system from another source, either a remote computer or a remote device, such as a flash drive. This has to be done while the system is running, i.e., after it has "booted" and is in a running state.
