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.

Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>
Explanation:
This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:
x-component:
(1)
Where:
is the projectile's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target
is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)
y-component:
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)
is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)
is the acceleration due gravity
Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):
(3)
(4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile
For y (2):
(5)
(6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile
