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?

1 answer:

6 0

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 person standing a certain distance from four identical loudspeakers is hearing a sound level intensity of 125 dB. What sound l

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}$

Explanation:

From the question, using the expression:

$125 \ dB = 10 \ log (\dfrac{I}{I_o})$

where;

$I_o = 10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I = 10^{12.5} \times 10^{-12} \ W/m^2$

$I = 3.162 \ W/m^2$

This is a combined intensity of 4 speakers.

Thus, the intensity of 3 speakers = $\dfrac{3.162\times 3}{4}$

= 2.372 W/m²

Thus;

$\beta = 10 \ log ( \dfrac{2.372}{10^{-12}} ) \ W/m^2$

$\mathbf{\beta = 123.75 \ dB}$

Ted Clubber Lang. A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at t

il63 [147K]

Answer:

15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the shoulder, v(h) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved during the hook, d(h) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d(f) = 100 cm = 1 m

Average speed of the fist during the hook, v(f) = ? cm/s = m/s

This can be solved by a very simple relation.

d(f) / d(h) = v(f) / v(h)

v(f) = [d(f) * v(h)] / d(h)

v(f) = (1 * 0.75) / 0.05

v(f) = 0.75 / 0.05

v(f) = 15 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the fist during the hook is 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

$v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.
