The most fundamental property of a star that determines its evolution is the MASS of the star.

In fact, while low-mass stars usually end their life becoming red giants and then white or black dwarfs, the high-mass stars can evolve into red supergiants and eventually originate a supernova. After the explosion of the supernova, depending on their mass, they can becomes neutron stars or collapse into black holes.

You are traveling at 100 km/hr to make it to work on time. You have to be to work in .25 hr or you will be late. You have 16 km

alexgriva [62]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Velocity $V$ is defined as the distance traveled $d$ in a specific time $t$ :

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If you are traveling at $V=100 km/h$ a distance $d=16 m$ , then the time it will take you to be at work is:

$t=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{16 km}{100 km/h}$

$t=0.16 h$

This means you will make it on time, because this time is less than 0.25 h.

Question 1 of 7What is the change in internal energy if 90 J of thermal energy is added to asystem, and the system does 30 J of

Dmitriy789 [7]

Given:

The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J

The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J

To find the change in internal energy.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

$\Delta U=\text{ Q-W}$

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

$\begin{gathered} \Delta U\text{ =90-30} \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)

A hair dryer draws a current of 10 A plugged into a 120 V outlet. What is the resistance of the hair dryer?

Ganezh [65]

<span>This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.</span>
