How do astronomers use parallax to calculate a stars distance?

The “death throes” of stars are amongst the most complex phenomena in all of astronomy, and the “corpses” of stars amongst the most energetic and exotic objects in existence. beginning at the end of the core helium fusion stage in a star’s life, describe in detail the post-main sequence development of both (a) a 1.0 solar mass star, and (b) a 25.0 solar mass star. in what significant ways do they differ? what role does each of these types of stars play in the "star-gas-star" cycle and the evolution of chemical elements in our galaxy?

How does the kinetic energy of a charge change as the charge moves under the effect of an electric field from higher potential to lower potential? a.the kinetic energy increases.b.the kinetic energy decreases.c.the kinetic energy remains the same.d.the kinetic energy is always zero.
