How long would main sequence star last if twice as massive as the sun?

A star with a mass of 2solar masses, 2times the mass of the sun, would have a main-sequence stage of half the life of a star with the mass of our sun. More massive stars die faster, less massive stars live longer and therefore have longer main-sequence stages.

Is the main sequence lifetime of a low mass star the same as the lifetime of the sun?
No. The less massive a star, the longer it will last. A main sequence star half the mass of the sun can be expected to last about 5 times longer.
How long does the main sequence stage of a sunlike normally last?

If the Earth were twice its present distance from the Sun the gravitational force exerted by the Sun would be?
Logically, half. Meaning seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years would last twice as long. If the gravitational pull changed the earth's course, there would be no possible way of knowing without knowing it's exact course..
Does a low mass or high mass sequence star have higher fusion rate during main sequence life?
A high mass star. The temperature and density of the stars core are at the levels necessary to sustain the energy production that supports the remainder of the star. A reduction of energy production would cause the overlaying mass to compress the core, resulting in an increase in the fusion rate because of higher temperatures and pressure. Likewise, an increase in energy production would cause the star to expand, lowering the pressure at the core. Thus the star forms a self regulating system in hydrostatic equilibrium that is stable over the course of its main sequence lifetime The most massive stars may remain on the main sequence for only a few million years, while smaller stars may last for over a trillion years. See link for detailed information. See related questions for an overview.
Which kind of star is most likely to spend the longest time on the main sequence?
A very cool one.A very small and thus cool red dwarf could last around 10 trillion years on the main sequence.

What is a geographic sequence?
A geographic sequence is a series of locations or places arranged in a specific order based on their geographical position or relationship. This sequence may reflect a progression from one location to another, such as in a travel itinerary, or it may be used to map out distances, boundaries, or other geographical features.
What is a triangler sequence?
Its a Sequence when you add 1 more number onto the last number you added on for example 1 is the first number you would add 2 which would make 3 then you would add 3 which would make 6 then you add 4 which would make 10 and so on.
