Answer:

(a) <u>11.3 L</u>

(b) <u>10 M</u>

Explanation:

The mass-luminosity relationship states that:

Luminosity ∝ Mass^3.5

Luminosity = (Constant)(Mass)^3.5

So, in order to find the values of luminosity or mass of different stars, we take the luminosity or mass of sun as reference. Therefore, write the equation for a star and Sun, and divide them to get:

Luminosity of a star/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5 ______ eqn(1)

where,

L = Luminosity of Sun

M = mass of Sun

(a)

It is given that:

Mass of Star = 2M

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

Luminosity of star/L = (2M/M)^3.5

Luminosity of Star = (2)^3.5 L

<u>Luminosity of Star =  11.3 L</u>

(b)

It is given that:

Luminosity of star = 3160 L

Therefore, eqn (1) implies that:

3160L/L = (Mass of Star/M)^3.5

taking ln on both sides:

ln (3160) = 3.5 ln(Mass of Star/M)

8.0583/3.5 = ln(Mass of Star/M)

Mass of Star/M = e^2.302

<u>Mass of Star = 10 M</u>

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Please see the attached picture for the full solution.

Since we are only concerned about the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the car, we look at the decrease in height of the car as it moves from point X to point Y, instead of the distance travelled by the car.
