Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1QP
To determine
Rank the least massive to most massive star.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1QP
The least massive to most massive star is black hole, neutron star, and white dwarf.
Explanation of Solution
The massive stars are formed within dense clouds of dust and gas located in the interstellar medium of a galaxy. Gravity causes these clouds to collapse in on them with small disturbance within a cloud causing denser clumps of matter.
If the surviving core is acts between 1.4 solar masses it contracts to become a tiny, very dense Neutron star.
The masses for both white dwarfs and neutron stars have an upper limit, dense stellar remnants more massive than about
Conclusion:
Therefore, the least massive to most massive star is block hole, neutron star, and white dwarf.

The force of the quadriceps (Fq) and force of the patellar tendon (Fp) is identical (i.e., 1000 N each). In the figure below angle in blue is Θ and the in green is half Θ (i.e., Θ/2). A) Calculate the patellar reaction force (i.e., R resultant vector is the sum of the horizontal component of the quadriceps and patellar tendon force) at the following joint angles: you need to provide a diagram showing the vector and its components for each part. a1) Θ = 160 degrees, a2) Θ = 90 degrees.
