What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?

Mariana [72]

Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available.

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

Compute the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts. express your answe

Elodia [21]

The velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts will be 5.93 * $10^{6}$ m/s

Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons.

By conservation of energy, the kinetic energy has to equal the change in potential energy, so KE=q*V. The energy of the electron in electron-volts is numerically the same as the voltage between the plates.

given

charge of electron = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

mass of electron = 9.1 × $10^{-31}$ kg

Force in an electric field = q*E

potential energy is stored in the form of work done

potential energy = work done = Force * displacement

= q * (E * d)

= q * (V) = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ * 100

stored potential energy = kinetic energy in electric field

kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * $v^{2}$

= 1/2 * 9.1 × $10^{-31}$ * $v^{2}$

equation both the equations

1/2 * 9.1 × $10^{-31}$ * $v^{2}$ = 1.6 × $10^{-17}$

$v^{2}$ = 0.352 * $10^{14}$ m/s

$v^{2}$ = 35.2 * $10^{12}$

= 5.93 * $10^{6}$ m/s

What is dark energy?

olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion
