The total mass of the Sun is about 2×10^30 kg, of which about 76 % was hydrogen when the Sun formed. However, only about 12 % of this hydrogen ever becomes available for fusion in the core. The rest remains in layers of the Sun where the temperature is too low for fusion. Part A
Use the given data to calculate the total mass of hydrogen available for fusion over the lifetime of the Sun.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
Part B
The Sun fuses about 600 billion kilograms of hydrogen each second. Based on your result from part A, calculate how long the Sun’s initial supply of hydrogen can last. Give your answer in both seconds and years.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
Part D
Given that our solar system is now about 4.6 billion years old, when will we need to worry about the Sun running out of hydrogen for fusion?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

There are two major tests of readiness for college: the act and the sat. act scores are reported on a scale from 1 to 36. the distribution of act scores in recent years has been roughly normal with mean µ = 20.9 and standard deviation s = 4.8. sat scores are reported on a scale from 400 to 1600. sat scores have been roughly normal with mean µ = 1026 and standard deviation s = 209. reports on a student's act or sat usually give the percentile as well as the actual score. the percentile is just the cumulative proportion stated as a percent: the percent of all scores that were lower than this one. tanya scores 1260 on the sat. what is her percentile (± 1)?
