Q1.
[a} star has W times the luminosity of the Sun. How many
joules per second does it produce?(If W =2000)
Via the p-p chain, how many kilograms of hydrogen must be
converted into energy each second in that star in order to produce
that much luminosity?
[c] Remember that for every 1000 kg of hydrogen that goes
through the p-p chain, 993 kg of helium is produced, and 7 kg
becomes energy. How many kilograms of hydrogen must undergo the p-p
chain each second in this star to produce its luminosity?
