(a)
Determine the amount by which the mass of Star A decreases each second, if its power output is 5.181026 W.(Give your answer in kg/s.)
kg/s
(b)
What If? Rigel, a supergiant star, is much more massive than Star A and has a power output of approximately 1.081032 W. How much time is required for Star A to lose the same amount of mass as Rigel does in 1.00 s? Express your answer in units of days.
