What is the force that stops two nuclei getting close together?
The electrostatic repulsion.
Why does fusion require such a high temperature before it can begin?
You need to have such a high temperature so that the positively charged nuclei can get close enough together for the strong nuclear force to be greater than the electromagnetic repulsion between them.
What does densely packed together mean?
densely means to collide and packed together means to be close. so put it together "collided and close".
Why dont charged nuclei repel each other in a plasma?
They do. In those plasmas which don't fly apart there are other factors. In plasmas for fusion power, the plasmas are constrained by magnetic forces which keep the material in proximity. There is also the strong nuclear force. This is a very strong force, with a very short range. If two positively charged nuclei can be forced close enough together, then the strong nuclear force, which pulls them together, will become more powerful than the electromagnetic force, which pushes them apart. Then they form one nucleus, and spit out a lot of energy, and sometimes a neutron.
What does it mean when the field lines are close together?
It means that the magnets are closer together

Why does nuclear fusion bring nuclei extremely close together?
Because the nuclei are all positively charged they repel each other. They are made to stick to each other when brought close enough for the strong force to take hold.

What is one type of repulsive force operating on atoms brought close together?
The force between the two positively charged nuclei of the two atoms
Why does nuclear fusion require high temperature?
To bond together, two nuclei must be thrown together with great force. This is because every nucleus has a positive charge and the nuclei repel each other when they come close. If that resistance is overcome and the nuclei actually begin to impact each other, then it is possible for one proton in one nucleus to change to a neutron and bind or 'fuse' together with the other nucleus. The great force required here includes both extreme heat and extreme pressure, comparable to that inside stars.

Why can neutrons be found when protons hang around?
Protons and neutrons hang out together in atomic nuclei due to the strong nuclear force, which causes them to strongly attract each other at very close range.
Is you will become a doctor an example of a short-term goal?
Usually it is not a short term goal. It is usually an example of a long term goal. If someone is close to getting their medical degree, it would then be an example of a short term goal.
What produces heat and light in stars?
The heat and light emitted from stars is due to the nuclear fusion within their cores. Stars are so massive that their gravity crushes atoms so close together that their nuclei begin to snap together, releasing loads of energy in the form of light.
Where is the best place to go trick or treating?
Usually in apartments and houses that are close together like town houses.
Are blue getting back together?
yes it was confirmed on the news.They did an accapella of too close after that they said that they never rehearsed it though!
Why where houses built close together in early villages?
So they could protect each other easily by getting there faster
