What is the lowest mass that an object can have and still be a star?

Physics
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The lowest mass that an object can have to be considered a star is 0.08 solar masses.    

Explanation:

A star is get when it reaches the necessary temperature in its core to nuclear reaction began.

A Nuclear reaction is the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements.

In stars there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to its own mass and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in its core, which is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

Therefore, the mass of the star must be enough to the force of gravity act in the inward direction, which leads to the increase in pressure, density and of course temperature in the core, allowing the nuclear reaction to begin.

Hence, the lowest mass that an object can have to be consider a star is 0.08 solar masses.

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink
Dovator [93]

Answer:

 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

For this exercise, they indicate that we use the Raleigh criterion that establishes that two luminous objects are separated when the maximum diffraction of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other.

 Therefore the diffraction equation for slits with m = 1 remains

             a sin θ = λ

in general these experiments occur for oblique angles so

             sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

in the case of circular openings we must use polar coordinates to solve the problem, the solution includes a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / a

The angles in these measurements are taken in radians, therefore

          θ = s / R

as the angle is small the arc approaches the distance s = y

          y / R = 1.22 λ / s

          y = 1.22 λ R / a

let's calculate

            y = 1.22 500 10⁻⁹ 0.42 / 0.032

            y = 8 10⁻⁶ m

with this separation the points are resolved according to the Raleigh criterion, so that it is not resolved (separated)

                 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

mini stereo speaker cables are made of copper wire surrounded by robert electricity travel down the copper portion of the cable
Tom [10]

Here current is flowing through the copper wire so this shows that copper is good conductor of electricity.

It is having less resistance as it conducts the current easily

Now a rubber coating on it will protect us from electric shock

So this property shows that rubber is a bad conductor of electricity

It is having large electrical resistance due to which it will conduct no current

Rubber : - No transmittance of electricity

copper :- good transmittance of electricity

The sun rotates once in 25.05 days. That is 601.2 hours. so the sun's rotational speed is 0.0017 rotations per hour. what is the
Margaret [11]

Answer:

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • time taken by the sun to complete one revolution, t=601.2\ hr
  • radial distance of the sunspot, r=6.955\times 10^8\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Therefore, angular speed of rotation of sun:</u>

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600} \ rad.s^{-1}

<u>Now the tangential velocity of the sunspot can be given by:</u>

v=r.\omega

v=6.955\times 10^8\times \frac{2\pi}{601.2\times 3600}

v=2019.09\ m.s^{-1}
