What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?

Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available. 

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series
horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''
