Compare and contrast the life cycle of a low mass star and a high mass star

True [87]3 years ago
6 0
Low mass: Live for billions (trillions?) of years. The first low mass red dwarfs in this universe still haven't died off yet, so we aren't completely sure what happens when they "die." 

<span>Very High Mass: Run through their fuel exceedingly fast. *Die* relatively quickly (in the range of tens to hundreds of millions of years instead of billions and beyond) and go out with style, Supernova that will leave behind a neutron star (the *kind of very high mass stars" end this way) or a black hole (the *very very high mass stars* end this way.)</span>

During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

speed is the rate of change in distance thus it is scalar physical quantity

while velocity is the rate of change in displacement thus it is a vector physical quantity

Explanation:

vector physical quantity: is a quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to identify

scalar quantity: requires only magnitude to identify.

A cat, walking along the window ledge of a new york apartment, knocks off a flower pot, which falls to the street 280 feet below
Harlamova29_29 [7]
H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²

Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v =  the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
    = 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
    = 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s

Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h

Answer:  133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
