Please forgive my delay in responding — its the only way I can think of, to ensure I do not assist with academic work, of which homework is just one part. And, since I can not determine the veracity of what people post, I can not know whether they are disguising academic work as something else.

Please forgive my delay in responding — it’s the only way I can think of, to ensure I do not assist with academic work, of which homework is just one part. And, since I can not determine the veracity of what people post, I can not know whether they are disguising academic work as something else. In order to get nuclei close enough together for them to form heavier nuclei, they have to be moving at a high speed. Otherwise their electric repulsion would prevent them from ever getting so close to do so. Phrasing it another way, it takes lots of kinetic energy for the nuclei to overcome the electrostatic energy of repulstion. Temperature, in its most basic form, is a measure of the average speed of the molecules and atoms of a substance — the higher the temperature, the higher the average speed. Nuclei that must get closer before they will fuse together into a heavier nuclei require a higher speed in order to do so. Thus, they require a higher temperature.
