Answer:

A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.

Explanation:

A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.

The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.

Liula [17]

Answer:

D. If a home were wired in series, every light and appliance would have to be turned on in order for any light or appliance to work.

Explanation:

In a series circuit, all the appliances are connected on the same branch of the circuit, one after the other. This means that the current flowing throught them is the same. However, this means also that if one of the appliance is turned off (so, its switch is open), that appliance breaks the circuit, so the current can no longer flow through the other appliances either.

On the contrary, when the appliances are connected in parallel, they are connected in different branches, so if one of them is switched off, the other branches continue working unaffacted by it.

Which one is it plzz help
Damm [24]

Answer:

Stayed the same

Explanation:

Potential energy is a function of mass, gravity and height relative to a reference level. If we take as the reference level the soil, this is the level where the potential energy is zero. Since in problem it is mentioned that the track is flat, this means that there are no height changes with respect to the reference level, therefore we can say that the potential energy remains unchanged.

Ep = m*g*h

where:

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity [m/s^2]

h = elevation [m]
