Which of the following is true when an object of mass m moving on a horizontal frictionless surface hits and sticks to an object of mass m > m, which is initially at rest on the surface?
the collision is elastic.

a. all of the initial kinetic energy of the less-massive object is lost.
b. the momentum of the objects that are stuck together has a smaller magnitude than the initial momentum of the less massive object.
c. the speed of the objects that are stuck together will be less than the initial speed of the less-massive object.
d. the direction of motion of the objects that are stuck together depends on whether the hit is a head on collision.

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?
