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?

Mariana [72]2 years ago

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 bowling ball is 21.6 cm in diameter. What is the angular speed of these ball whenit is moving at 3.0 m/s?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 21.6 cm

Speed = 3 m/s

Find:

Angular speed

Computation:

Radius = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8 cm = 0.108 m

Angular speed = v / r

Angular speed = 3 / 0.108

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of battery and begins to free fall from 20m. No drag. If it lands 60m away (in t
rewona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

At the time it takes to drop 20 m is the same time it takes to travel 60 m horizontally.

Givens

h = 20 m

hd = 60 m

g = 9.81

vi = 0

Formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a * t^2                  We are solving for t

Solution

When the battery fails, the vertical initial velocity is 0. So we have to find the time it would take to drop 20 meters

d = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.81 a* t^2

20 = 4.91 * t^2                          Divide by 4.91

20/4.91 = 4.91 t^2 / 4.91    

4.073 = t^2                              Take the square root of both sides.

t = 2.02 seconds

Horizontal

d = 60 m

t = 2.02 seconds

v = ?

Note: there is no horizontal deceleration or acceleration

v = d/t

v = 60/2.02

Answer: v = 29.73 m/s

Two charged objects have a repulsive force of .80 N. If the charge of one of the objects is doubled, then what is the new force?
sveticcg [70]
The new force would be 1.6 N.
Since the charges multiply as variables (q1)x(q2), then it would simply be double (q1)x(q2), or 1.6.
