I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Scientific theories summarize patterns found in nature. Although, the statement scientific theories are never proven is somewhat true. They are either disproved or they are never disproved. Hope this answers the question.
The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms releases a huge amount of energy. So the correct choice is C. Conversion of mass to energy.
What is nuclear fusion?
When two small nuclei join to form a new nucleus, then this process is termed nuclear fusion. A huge amount of energy is released when there occurs nuclear fusion between the two nuclei. And a new element is formed.
It has been observed that the amount of energy released in nuclear fusion is equal to the mass difference between the mass of the formed nucleus and the total mass of old nuclei. Hence in the nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei to form a helium nucleus, the energy is released due to the conversion of mass into energy.
The pressure is increased to make the hydrogen atoms fuse but this change in pressure does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
The magnitude of the gravitational field is too low and it does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.
The gravitational collapse does not occur between the two hydrogen atoms. This phenomenon occurs in celestial bodies so this also does not contribute to the energy released in the fusion of hydrogen.

Answer:
f1= -350cm or -3.5m
f2= 22.1cm or 0.221m
Explanation:
A person is nearsighted when the person's far point is less than infinity. A diverging lens is normally used to correct this eye defect. A diverging lens has a negative focal length as seen in the solution attached.
Farsightedness is when a person's near point is farther than 25cm. This eye defect is corrected using a converging lens. The focal length of a converging lens is positive. This is evident in the solution attached. The near point is also referred to as the least distance of distinct vision.
Any of the above depending on the direction of forces
Answer:
The coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.026
Explanation:
An 56 kg sled is being pulled across the snow, at constant speed,by a horizontal force of 15 N.
Here we have to note that the weight is pulled at a constant speed . This means that the net force acting on the weight is zero.
The external force acting on the body is in the forward direction and the friction acts in the backward direction.
Friction increases as the mass of the body increases.
Friction = 
We now equate this to the external force of 15 N.
15 = 
= 
= 0.026
The coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.026
