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

1 answer:

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.

24 A uniform electric field of magnitude 1.1×104 N/C is perpendicular to a square sheet with sides 2.0 m long. What is the elect

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$44,000 Nm^2/C$

Explanation:

The electric flux through a certain surface is given by (for a uniform field):

$\Phi = EA cos \theta$

where:

E is the magnitude of the electric field

A is the area of the surface

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the field and of the normal to the surface

In this problem, we have:

$E=1.1\cdot 10^4 N/C$ is the electric field

L = 2.0 m is the side of the sheet, so the area is

$A=L^2=(2.0)^2=4.0 m^2$

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ , since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface

Therefore, the electric flux is

$\Phi =(1.1\cdot 10^4)(4.0)(cos 0^{\circ})=44,000 Nm^2/C$

Small paragraph explaining how how potential and kinetic energy are related

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state. While kinetic energy of an object is relative to the state of other objects in its environment, potential energy is completely independent of its environment.

What are the names of the 2 charged particles in an atom and what are their charges

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Protons and electrons

Explanation:

The atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The physical and chemical characteristics of an atom are determined by the number of these particle composition.
The protons present in the center of an atom called the nucleus is positively charged.
The neutrons are also located in the nucleus of an atom with no charge.
The electrons has a negative charge and it is placed around the nucleus having different shells and quantum state.
The charges of the protons and electrons are denoted by +q and -q. The quantization of these charges are +1, +2, ... and -1, -2, .... etc.
