The lifetime of a star can be estimated in "solar lifetimes" by dividing 1 by the mass of the star, raised to the 2.5 power (T-1/M5 where mass is given in solar masses. What is the expected lifetime of a star that has three times the mass of the Sun? 7-[)solar lifetimes

Respuesta :

Answer:

641500299.1 years

Explanation:

Stellar lifetime

[tex]\tau =10^{10}\left(\frac{M_s}{M}\right)^{2.5}[/tex]

where,

[tex]M_s[/tex] = Mass of sun

M = Mass of star = [tex]3M_s[/tex]

[tex]\tau =10^{10}\left(\frac{M_s}{3M_s}\right)^{2.5}\\\Rightarrow \tau=10^{10}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{2.5}\\\Rightarrow \tau=641500299.1\ years[/tex]

The expected lifetime of a star which is 3 times the mass of the sun is 641500299.1 years
