- List the following 5 terms in order through a stars life cycle (starting with the sun), through the remainder of its lifetime: a. Black dwarf b. Planetary nebula c. Red giant d. Star (Sun) e. White dwarfWhich statement is most logical? a First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the materials used to make clouds were more abundant at the beginning b First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the temperatures of the clouds that made them were higher because they consisted entirely of hydrogen and helium c First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because star-forming clouds were much denser early in time d First stars are thought to have been more massive than Sun because the clouds that made them were much more massiveAfter a supernova explosion, the remaining core will collapse to form a black hole if the mass of the core is a. less than one solar mass b. more than 3 solar masses c. between 1 and 1.5 solar masses d. between 1.5 and 3 solar masses
- If a star is to eventually form a stellar black hole at any point in its life cycle what must happen? A. Gravity must be strong enough to compress all its material to be smaller than its schwartzchild radius B. it must pass by a supermassive black hole and tidal forces will do the rest C. Gravity must expand it so it can over power the nuclear forces that compress it and keep it from exploding by giving off all its heat D. A star will always have the same mass and radius and the only black holes that exist are ones that have existed shortly after the big bangWhich of the following statements about various stages of core nuclear burning (hydrogen, helium, carbon, etc.) in a high- mass star is not true? A. As each stage ends, the core shrinks and heats further. B. Each successive stage creates an element with a higher atomic number and atomic mass number. C. As each stage ends, the reactions that occurred in previous stages continue in shells around the core. D.Each successive stage lasts for approximately the same amount of time.
