A protostar's radius decreases by a factor of 100 and its surface temperature increases by a factor of two before it becomes a main sequence star. Its luminosity: A. Decreases by a factor of 160,000 B. Decreases by a factor of 625 C. Decreases by a factor of 40 D. Increases by a factor of 40 E. Increases by a factor of 625 F. Increases by a factor of 160,000

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

Explanation:

For this case we can use the formula of luminosity in terms of the radius and the temperature given by:

Where L_i = initial luminosity, r= radius and T = temperature.

We know that we decrease the radius by a factor of 100 and the temperature increases by a factor of 2 so then the new luminosity would be:

So then we see that the final luminosity decrease by a factor of 625 so then the correct answer for this case would be:

B. Decreases by a factor of 625

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

hello, i am papaguy.

i have found an answer to your question but use it as information.

information: because weak acids/bases have low concentration of hydrogen ions, the addition of water has a large impact on the ph. 2. a difference in 1 unit is a 10x difference in concentration for example; a liquid with ph of 3 is 10x more acidic than a liquid with a ph of 4. therefore, a liquid with a ph of 3 is stronger.

best of luck!
