What is the key factor determining a collapsing massive star’s fate: neutron star or black hole?
💡 Explanation:The final fate of a massive star (forming a neutron star or a black hole) is primarily determined by the mass of the compact remnant core <strong>after</strong> the supernova explosion and significant mass loss. If the remnant core's mass exceeds the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) limit (approx. 2.1 to 3.0 solar masses), the internal pressure (neutron degeneracy pressure) is insufficient to resist gravity, leading to the formation of a black hole. If the core mass is below this limit, it stabilizes as a neutron star.

What was the primary effect of abolishing the Concurrent Legislative List in the Constitution of Pakistan?
💡 Explanation:The abolition of the Concurrent Legislative List was a key feature of the 18th Constitutional Amendment (2010). This action transferred 47 subjects from the joint legislative domain of the Federation and Provinces exclusively to the Provinces, a massive act of decentralization which significantly enhanced provincial autonomy and strengthened the federal structure of Pakistan. The 18th Amendment also addressed the Prime Minister's powers and local governments (Article 140A), but the abolition of the Concurrent List is directly responsible for the massive devolution of legislative power.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics fundamentally limits the efficiency of which process?
💡 Explanation:The Second Law of Thermodynamics (specifically the Kelvin-Planck statement) states that it is impossible to construct a device that operates in a cycle and produces no effect other than the extraction of heat from a reservoir and the performance of an equivalent amount of work. This fundamentally limits the maximum possible efficiency (Carnot efficiency) for converting heat energy into mechanical work.
