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.

Two children are balanced on a seesaw that has a mass of 18.0 kg. The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached,

According to the principle of moment,

For a body at equilibrium,

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Taking moment about the pivot,

W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1

Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.

But,

W = mg

Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body

Therefore,

W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,

Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N

W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)

407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x

337.12x = 431.1412

x = 431.1412/337.12

x = 1.2789

x ≈ 1.28 m

Does peer pressure affect your physical activity routine? Describe this peer pressure and tell whether it is positive or negativ
Alexxx [7]
Yes, peer pressure affects one's physical activity routine. It can do so both negatively and positively. For instance, if one is pressured to do drugs when around their peers, it would most likely lead to an addiction that lasts even when they are not with those people anymore. However, from a positive viewpoint, one's peers could also pressure them to do something productive, such as trying a new beneficial activity that they are afraid of (ex. trying out for a talent show.) This could lead to a disruption in routine as that individual would begin practicing for said talent show. Hence, peer pressure can be both negative and positive, but in both instances, it changes the routine of the individual effected.

a bullet with a mass of 4.0g and a speed of 650m/s is fired at a block of wood with a mass of 0.095kg. the block rests on a fric
n200080 [17]

Part a)

Here in this we can use momentum conservation as there is no external force on it

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} +m_2v_{2f}

here we know that

m_1 = 0.004 kg

v_{1i} = 650 m/s

m_2 = 0.095

v_{2i} = 0

v_{2f} = 23 m/s

now by above equation

0.004*650 + 0.095* 0 = 0.004*v + 0.095*23

2.6 + 0 = 0.004*v + 2.185

v = 103.75 m/s

Part b)

Final kinetic energy of the system

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1f}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}*0.004*(103.75^2) + \frac{1}{2}*(0.095)*23^2

KE_f = 46.65 J

Initial Kinetic energy of the system will be

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1i}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2i}^2

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}*0.004*(650^2) + \frac{1}{2}*(0.095)*0^2

KE_f = 845 J

So here kinetic energy is decreased for this system

final energy is less than initial energy

To determine the pressure in a fluid at a given depth with the air-filled cartesian diver, we can employ Boyle's law, which stat
aniked [119]

Answer:

The pressure at this depth is 1.235\cdot P_{atm}.

Explanation:

According to the statement, the uncompressed fluid stands at atmospheric pressure. By Boyle's Law we have the following expression:

\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} (1)

Where:

V_{1}, V_{2} - Initial and final volume.

P_{1}, P_{2} - Initial and final pressure.

If we know that V_{2} = 0.81\cdot V_{1}, then the pressure ratio is:

\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} = 1.235

If P_{1} = P_{atm}, then the final pressure of the gas is:

P_{2} = 1.235\cdot P_{atm}

The pressure at this depth is 1.235\cdot P_{atm}.
