elena-s [515]

Highest to lowest number:

-less than 1 solar mass

-between 1 and 10 solar masses

-between 10 and 30 solar masses

-between 30 and 60 solar masses

<h3>What is Stellar masses ?</h3>

Stellar mass is a phrase that is used by astronomers to describe the mass of a star.

It is usually enumerated in terms of the Sun's mass as a proportion of a solar mass ( M ☉). Hence, the bright star Sirius has around 2.02 M ☉.

Stellar masses are not fixed, although they change for single stars only on long periods.

What is one newton force?

Trava [24]

One newton force is defined as the force that is necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second. One newton is equal to a force of 100,000 dynes in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system, or a force of about 0.2248 pound in the foot-pound- second system.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The lithosphere is part of both the crust and the mantle.

It is the surface layer of the earth and also the most rigid layer. It is formed by the crust and the outermost part of the mantle. It is divided into two types: continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.

The oceanic lithosphere has an approximate thickness of 50 - 100km, and the continental olithosphere of 40 - 200km.

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?

aniked [119]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

It would make the lens stronger.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.
