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

Physics

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.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

17.72° or 72.28°

Explanation:

u = 6.5 m/s

R = 2.5 m

Let the angle of projection is θ.

Use the formula for the horizontal range

R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

2.5=\frac{6.5^{2}Sin2\theta }{9.8}

Sin 2θ = 0.58

2θ = 35.5°

θ = 17.72°

As we know that the range is same for the two angles which are complementary to each other.

So, the other angle is 90° - 17.72° = 72.28°

Thus, the two angles of projection are 17.72° or 72.28°.

Which expression of distance uses SI units? A. 30 miles B. 16 kilograms C. 24 feet D. 500 meters
Stella [2.4K]
Hi!

SI units are physical measurements which will be in the form of kilograms, second, kelvin, metres, etc.

Since kilograms measure the weight of an object, it is out. Miles and feet are not SI units, so they are also out. This only leaves one answer left!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A Carnot engine's operating temperatures are 240 ∘C and 20 ∘C. The engine's power output is 910 W . Part A Calculate the rate of
scoray [572]

Answer:1200

Explanation:

Given data

Upper Temprature\left ( T_H\right )=240^{\circ}\approx 513

Lower Temprature \left ( T_L\right )=20^{\circ}\approx 293

Engine power ouput\left ( W\right )=910 W

Efficiency of carnot cycle is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\eta =\frac{W_s}{Q_s}

1-\frac{293}{513}=\frac{910}{Q_s}

Q_s=2121.954 W

Q_r=1211.954 W

rounding off to two significant figures

Q_r=1200 W
