To determine

The distance of the star if the star has proper motion 0.08 arcsec per year and the tangential velocity of the star is 40 km/s. Also, determine the tangential velocity at the same distance, if the proper motion is the same as Barnard’s star.

For a main sequence star with luminosity L, how many kilograms of hydrogen is being converted into helium per second? Use the formula that you derive to estimate the mass of hydrogen atoms that are converted into helium in the interior of the sun (LSun = 3.9 x 1026 W). (Note: the mass of a hydrogen atom is 1 mproton and the mass of a helium atom is 3.97 mproton. You need four hydrogen nuclei to form one helium nucleus.)
If the surface Temperature of a star was about 11000.0 K instead of 7000.0 K what is the ratio of power per square meter of the 11000.0 K star compared to power per square meter of the 7000.0 K star? How many times greater is the magnitude of power per square meter of the 11000.0 K star compared to the 7000.0 K star
Star 1 emits energy at a rate that is 2 times that of Star 2. If Star 1 also has a radius that is 3 times larger than Star 2, how do the temperatures of the stars compare?
