Answer:

1. An increase in the core temperature

2. A decrease in the core radius.

Explanation:

The sun is a Main Sequence star. A Main Sequence star is powered by fusing hydrogen into Helium within its core.

For this fusion to take place, a temperature of at least 10 million Kelvin is required, beyond this point, the fusion rate is directly related to the core temperature. If the temperature increases, the fusion rate will greatly increase.

Something similar happens if the core reduces its radius. This can happen at the end of the star's lifetime, shortly before it becomes a red giant. Once the hydrogen is depleted, the core will start to shrink because the force of gravity, and as it gets smaller, gets more compressed, and its temperature increases. The outer layers of remaining Hydrogen that were outside the core now begin to heat up, and as the core continues to shrink, the star gets hot enough to begin the fusion process again, and the fusion rate can even be higher than it was during the first phase of the star, as the star becomes a Red Giant.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

72 km/h

Explanation:

Speed of car = 20m/s

So, here to find the speed in km/h we will change the metre to km and seconds to hours .

=>

\frac{20}{1000}  \div  \frac{1}{3600}

= 72 km/hr

to change into km divide by 1000

(1 m = 1/1000km)

and,

to change into hours divide by 60*60= 3600

An astronaut in space pushes a piece of equipment to get it into the correct position. What does Newton's third law of motion te
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: C and D

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

The equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

Explanation: According to Newton's first law of motion which state that; A body at rest will continue to be at rest, or in linear motion will continue to move in a straight line, unless an external force act on it.

The equipment would have stayed in the same exact location indefinitely until the very moment the astronaut applied force to it.

immediately the astronaut apply force to the object by pushing in, Newton's first law will be manifested in which the equipment will continue moving in the same direction indefinitely unless another force is applied to stop it.

Life cycle of a medium mass star
miskamm [114]

Our sun is a medium mass star, so it wouldn't be too different from the sun's life cycle. It is born, lives for about 10 billion years and then dies. ... As a medium mass star nears the end of its life, it runs out of hydrogen which it has been fusing onto helium in its core for its whole life.
