How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?

Physics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
6 0
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

an object moving at 10. km/hr has a kinetic energy of 10. J. what is the kinetic energy of the same object if it is moving at 20
Schach [20]
Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2

solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m

at 20 km/hr

KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J

1. A small light bulb is shining light on a basketball (diameter is 23 cm or 9 inches). The light bulb is 3 m from the closest s
siniylev [52]

Answer:

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall is approximately 53.38 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters of the basketball are;

The diameter of the basketball = 23 cm (9 inches)

The distance of the light bulb from the closest side of the basketball = 3 m

The distance from the ball to the wall = 4 m

The distance from the light source to the center of the ball, d = 3 m + 0.23/2 m = 3.115 m

The angle the light ray makes with the edge of the ball, θ = arctan(0.115/3.115)

Therefore, the ratio of the shadow width divided by 2 to the distance from the light from the wall = 0.115/3.115

The distance from the light from the wall = 3 m + 4 m + 0.23 m = 7.23 m

Therefore;

((The width of the shadow)/2)/(The distance from the light from the wall) = 0.115/3.115

∴ ((The width of the shadow)/2)/(7.23 m) = 0.115/3.115

((The width of the shadow)/2) = 7.23 m × 0.115/3.115 = 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.2669 m = 26.69 cm

The width (diameter) of the shadow on the wall = 2 × 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.5338 m = 53.38 cm

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall ≈ 53.38 cm

Which wave property changes when two waves interfere in the same medium?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>When two waves of same frequency travel in a medium simultaneously in the same direction then, due to their superposition, the resultant intensity at any point of the medium is different from the sum of intensities of the two waves. At certain points the intensity of the resultant wave has a large value while at some points it has a very small or zero. This is called wave interference.</span>
