Which of the following best describes why a white dwarf cannot have a mass greater than the 1.4 solar mass limit? A. White dwarf

s get hotter with increasing mass, and above the 1.4-solar-mass limit they would be so hot that even their electrons would melt.
B. The upper limit to a white dwarf's mass is something we have learned from observations, but no one knows why this limit exists.
C. Electron degeneracy pressure depends on the speeds of electrons, which approach the speed of light as a white dwarf's mass approaches the 1.4-solar-mass limit.
D. White dwarfs are made only from stars that have masses less than the 1.4-solar-mass limit.

The period, speed and acceleration of a satellite are only dependent upon the radius of orbit and the mass of the central body that the satellite is orbiting. I hope this helps. Sorry if i am wrong.

What forces contribute to density
mixer [17]
No force contributes to density, the density is a physical quantity that is defined as being \rho = m/V &#10; the raport between the mass of the object and its volume. However if you want to measure the density of an object you might want to determine its gravity force (weight) G=mg from which knowing the gravitational acceleratin you can find its mass m=G/g&#10; 
where G is given in Newtons and g=9.81 is given in  (m/s^2)&#10;

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap
marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B=3.7\times 10^{-2} T

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm=0.5\times 10^{-3} m

Radius of wire,r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm=1\times 10^{-2} m

1 cm=10^{-2} m

Resistivity of copper,\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Where A=\pi r^2

Using the formula

4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}

l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m

Number of turns of wire=\frac{l}{2\pi r'}

Number of turns of wire=\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800

Hence, the number of turns of the  solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B=\mu_0 nI

3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6

n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}

n=6404 turns/m

n=\frac{N}{L}

L=\frac{N}{n}

L=\frac{799}{6404}

L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

Can someone explain how they got their answer or how I get the change in number? :(
enyata [817]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Okay, I thinkkk what it is asking by what you summarzied for me issss:

They split the total time into four quarters. They then took (for the first quarter) the start time. Then when the first quarter ends and the second quarter starts is the "end" time.

They then subtract the start time of the second quarter from the end time of the first quarter.

I hope this helps, good luck! :D
