B. White Dwarf.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
The star would eventually run out of hydrogen fuel in the core. The core would shrink and heats up. As the temperature in the core increases, some of the helium in the core will undergo the triple-alpha process to produce elements such as Be, C, and O. The triple-alpha process will heat the outer layers of the star and blow them away from the core. This process will take a long time. Meanwhile, a planetary nebula will form.
As the outer layers of gas leave the core and cool down, they become no longer visible. The only thing left is the core of the star. Consider the Chandrasekhar Limit:
Chandrasekhar Limit:
.
A star with core mass smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit will not overcome electron degeneracy and end up as a white dwarf. Most of the outer layer of the star in question here will be blown away already. The core mass of this star will be only a fraction of its
, which is much smaller than the Chandrasekhar Limit.
As the star completes the triple alpha process, its core continues to get smaller. Eventually, atoms will get so close that electrons from two nearby atoms will almost run into each other. By Pauli Exclusion Principle, that's not going to happen. Electron degeneracy will exert a strong outward force on the core. It would balance the inward gravitational pull and prevent the star from collapsing any further. The star will not go any smaller. Still, it will gain in temperature and glow on the blue end of the spectrum. It will end up as a white dwarf.
If a runner completes a 10 km race in 32.5 minutes, his pace or speed can be calculated by the equation:
velocity = distance/time = 10km/32.5 mins = 0.3125 km/min
Convert this value to miles per hour using the conversion factors for minutes to hours and kilometers to miles as requested by the problem. This gives an answer of 11.47 miles per hour.
0.3125 km/min x 60 mins./ 1 hour x 1 mile / 1.609 km = 11.47 miles/hour
Answer:
D. Protons ; neutrons.
Explanation:
For a given element the number of protons is fixed, but the number of neutrons differ because the element usually consist of a number of isotopes.
For example Carbon has isotopes which contain 12, 13 and 14 neutrons.
So that is why you average the number of neutrons to find the approximate atomic mass..
Answer:
Because the number of neutrons is different, the mass number is different. Isotopes are written in two different ways. They can be written using their symbol with the mass number (to the upper left) and atomic number (to the lower left) or the isotope name is written with a dash and the mass number
