Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.

Explanation:

What is the weight of a 2.00-kilogram object on the surface of Earth?

2.00 N

4.91 N

9.81 N

19.6 N

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 2kg

Unknown:

Weight of the object = ?

Solution:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Weight = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6N

A person weighing 785 Newtons on the surface of the Earth would weigh 47 Newtons on the surface of Pluto. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of Pluto?

1.7 m/s²

0.59 m/s²

0.29 m/s²

9.8 m/s²

Given parameters:

Weight on Earth = 785N

Weight on Pluto = 47N

Unknown:

Acceleration due to gravity on Pluto = ?

Solution

The mass of the body both on Earth and Pluto is the same.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
