Red giants are smaller than main sequence stars, which are smaller than white dwarfs.

<span> False. A Red Giant evolves from a main sequence star after it commences Helium fusion and undergoes a great expansion; in the case of our Sun it would expand to encompass Earth's orbit. Thus, it would have approximately the same mass (a small amount being expelled in the helium flash), and vastly greater volume, equating to vastly lower density.

You're welcome :)

A highway patrolman traveling at the speed limit is passed by a car going 20 mph faster than the speed limit. After one minute,

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

It will take 40 seconds to catch the speeding car

Explanation:

Initial speed of the patrolman = 55 mph

after one minute speed of patrol man = 115 mph

now acceleration of patrolman is given by

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{115 - 55}{1/60} = 3600 m/h^2$

now at this acceleration the distance covered by patrolman in "t" time is given as

$d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$d = 55t + 1800t^2$

now we know the speed of the speeding car is given as

$v' = (55+20) mph$

now in the same time distance covered by it

$d = 75 t$

now since the distance covered is same

$75 t = 55t + 1800 t^2$

$t = \frac{20}{1800} = \frac{1}{90} h$

$t = 40 seconds$
