← ScienceWhich mechanism inhibits fusion initiation inside a collapsing nebula?
A)Coulomb barrier overcoming increases✓
B)Gravitational potential energy decreases
C)Kinetic energy loss dominates
D)Nuclear binding energy stagnates
💡 Explanation
The Coulomb barrier inhibits fusion because electrostatic repulsion resists overcoming short-range nuclear forces. Therefore, fusion won't begin unless temperatures rise for increased kinetic energy; rather than increased gravitational potential allowing collapse at suboptimal thermal conditions.
