If a star of 50 solar masses were to supernova, it would most likely become a _____.

a.protostar
b.red dwarf
c.white dwarf
d.neutron star
e.black hole

Respuesta :

The answer is Black Hole.

Answer: e. black hole

Explanation:

A Massive star either ends up as neutron star or a black hole.

When fuel is used up, the star expands and becomes a Red super giant and goes supernova. Most of the material is thrown out which forms planetary nebula. The core collapses in seconds to form Neutron star or black hole. A star having mass more than 3 solar masses usually collapses to form black hole.

Thus, a 50 solar mass star would likely become a black hole after it goes supernova.
