Answer:

Around 1.4 solar mass.

Explanation:

In a white dwarf, electron degeneracy prevents the star from collapsing into itself. However, if the mass of the star exceeds the Chandrasekhar Limit, gravity would overcome electron degeneracy and star would collapse further.

The value of the Chandrasekhar Limit is approximately 1.4\; M_{\odot} (1.4 times the mass of the sun.) While this mass is the maximum possible mass of a stable white dwarf, the original mass of the star that formed this white dwarf tends to be much greater.

NISA [10]

Answer:

Potential energy P_E = 2000 J

Explanation:

Given data

Weight of the person = 1000 N

Mass of the person = \frac{1000}{9.81} = 102 kg

Speed = 6.26 \frac{m}{s}

Kinetic energy is given by

E_K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Put the values in above formula we get

E_K = \frac{1}{2}(102) 6.26^{2}

E_K = 2000 J

When the person reach top point then at this point the velocity is zero & kinetic energy at top point is equals to the potential energy.

Therefore potential energy

P_E = 2000 J

Name three consequences that could happen if we use too much energy
galben [10]
There are MANY of them, but I shall name the three that I find dangerous. 

1- We would run out of energy, which could happen eventually if we do not use this resource wisely. 

2- We could get a-lot of diseases/illnesses because WE ourselves are made of electricity, and if we take up too much, we could get sick. 

3- We would rely on electricity too much, and later if it runs out, we would die....literally. <span />

A 2.00 kg ball is thrown upward at Some unknown angle from the top of a 20.0 M high building If the initial magnitude of the vel
mixer [17]

Answer:

792 J

Explanation:

The total energy of the ball is E = U + K where U = potential energy = mgh and K = kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

E = mgh + 1/2mv² where m = mass of ball = 2.0 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height of building = 20.0 m, v = initial velocity of ball = 20.0 m/s.

So, substituting the values of the variables into E, we have

E = mgh + 1/2mv²

= 2.00 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20.0 m + 1/2 × 2.00 kg × (20.0 m/s)²

=  392 J + 400 J

= 792 J

At the instant the traffic light turns green, a car starts with a constant acceleration of 3.00 ft/s^2. At the same instant a tr
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The car overtakes the truck at a distance d = 3266.2ft from the starting point

Explanation:

Problem Analysis

When car catches truck:

dc = dt = d

dc: car displacement

dt: truck displacement

tc = tt = t

tc: car time

tt : truck time

car kinematics :

car moves with uniformly accelerated movement:

d = vi*t + (1/2)a*t²

vi = 0 : initial speed

d = (1/2)*a*t² Equation (1)

Truck kinematics:

Truck moves with constant speed:

d = v*t Equation (2)

Data

We know that the acceleration of the car is 3.00 ft / s² and the speed of the truck is 70.0 ft / s .

Development problem

Since the distance traveled by the car is equal to the distance traveled by the truck and the time elapsed is the same for both, then we equate equations (1 ) and (2)

Equation (1) = Equation (2)

(1/2)*a*t² = v*t

(1/2)*3*t² = 70*t  (We divide both sides by t)

1.5*t = 70

t = 70 ÷ 1.5

t = 46.66 s

We replace t = 46.66 s in equation (2) to calculate d:

d = 70*46.66 = 3266.2ft

d = 3266.2 ft
