: match each description below with the type of star that is described. You may assume that all of the stars described have appr

oximately the same mass as the Sun. This is an adaptation of Thought Question 16, page 847 in OpenStax Astronomy. A. A star with no nuclear reactions going on in the core, which is made primarily of carbon and oxygen B. A star of uniform composition from center to surface; it contains hydrogen but has no nuclear reactions going on in the core. C. A star that is fusing hydrogen to form helium in its core. D. A star that is fusing helium to carbon in the core and hydrogen to helium in a shell around the core.

Explanation:

A. White Dwarf: It is the end stage of a Sun-like star. At the end the red giant star will throw away the outer layers in the form a shell and in the center a hot and bright core will remain. This core consists of carbon and oxygen but the conditions are not suitable to start the fusion of carbon and oxygen.

B. Protostar: It is the initial stage of a star. Here the fuel is available but still the temperature and pressure are not enough to start the nuclear fusion.

C. Main Sequence Star: A star that is fusing Hydrogen in the core to make Helium and releasing the energy in this process. Sun is currently in its main sequence stage. A star spend 90% of its lifetime in main sequence stage.

D. Red Giant Star: In such stars, the hydrogen has been exhausted and only Helium is left. As the core starts contracting under gravity, the conditions are apt for the fusion of Helium to begin. Helium starts fusing to make carbon while in the outer layer Hydrogen to Helium process goes on. As a result the star expands.

Suppose that the process were repeated, except that in step 3 a neutral acrylic rod instead of a finger is used to touch the ele
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total charge does not change since the system is isolated

Explanation:

When the electroscope is touched with an acrylic rod, some charges are transferred from the electroscope to the rod, until the charge in both is equal.

In the case it know when the electroscope is touched with a finger, two things can happen.

- The body is isolated from the ground, the efective charge is redistributed between the two bodies. Case similar to insulating rod

- The body is connected to ground, the charge is transferred to the finger and from here to the ground until the total charge is transferred and the Earth and the final charge of the electroscope is zero.

Let's review the final statements

a) False, when part of the load is touched, it passes to the rod, so when it separates it does not return to the initial load

b) True Only if the finger is isolated from ground

c) True. The total load does not change since the system is isolated

d) False. The value of the load changes =, but its sign does not

¿A qué velocidad debe circular un auto de carreras para recorrer 87 km en 20 min? (pasar a metros por segundo m/s)
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s

Explanation:

Dado

Distancia a recorrer por el coche de carreras = 87 Km

1 km = 1000 m

Por lo tanto, 87 km = 87000 m

Tiempo necesario para viajar 87 km / 87000 metros = 20 minutos o 20 * 60 = 1200 segundos

Velocidad en m / s = 87000/1200

Velocidad en m / s = 72,25 m / s
