A white dwarf cannot support its own weight by its degenerate pressure if its mass is greater than 1.4 solar masses.

<h3>What are white dwarfs?</h3>

White dwarfs are stellar core remnant composed mostly of electron-degenerate matter.

White dwarf is very dense due to its large mass and smaller volume.

<h3>Reasons for comparable mass of white dwarfs and Sun</h3>
  • Stars with main sequence masses less than about 0.5 solar masses cannot ignite the helium fusion required to become white dwarfs.
  • A white dwarf cannot support its own weight by its degenerate pressure if its mass is greater than 1.4 solar masses.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

What are the four answers (in order) to fill in these blanks?<br><br> URGENT
ser-zykov [4K]

In a circuit, the electromotive force can be said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons". This push then creates what is known as a current, which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can be slowed down or restricted by a resistor, and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric power.

Explanation:

The electromotive force is the potential difference produced by the battery in the circuit. When the circuit is connected to the battery, this potential difference causes the electron to start moving towards the point at higher potential: in this sense, the electromotive force is said to be the "source" of the "pushed electrons".

This flow of electrons moving in the circuit is known as current.

Then, in the circuit, it is possible to place a piece of circuit with a smaller cross-section that restricts the flow of electrons: this component is known as resistor, and its property of restricting the flow of electron is known as resistance.

In a circuit, electromotive force (V), current (I) and resistance (R) are related by Ohm's law:

V=RI

Finally, when a current passes through a resistor, part of the electric energy is converted into thermal energy, and some power is dissipated through the resistor. The power dissipated is given by

P=I^2 R

This power can be harnessed, for instance, if the resistor is connected to a light bulb: the energy is transformed into heat and light, and so the light bulb turns on, providing illumination.
