Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

A 15 m ladder with a mass of 51 kg is leaning against a frictionless wall, which makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizonta
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Mass of ladder is 51kg

Then, it weight is

WL = mg = 51 × 9.81 = 500.31N

This weight will act at the midpoint of the ladder

Length of ladder is 15m

The ladder makes an angle 55°C with the horizontal

An object whose mass is 81kg is at 4m from the bottom of the ladder

Then, weight of object

Wo = mg = 81 × 9.81 = 794.61 N

Using newton second law

Check attachment

Ng is normal force on the ground

Ff is the horizontal frictional force

Nw Is the normal force on the wall

ΣFy = 0

Ng = Wo + WL

Ng = 794.61 + 500.31

Ng = 1294.92 N

Also

ΣFx = 0

Ff — Nw = 0

Then,

Ff = Nw

Now taking moment about point A.

Check attachment

using the principle of equilibrium

Sum of clockwise moment equals to sum of anti-clockwise moment

Also note that the Normal force on the wall is not perpendicular to the ladder, so we will resolve that and also the weights of ladder and weight of object

Clockwise = Anticlockwise

Wo•Cos60 × 4 + WL•Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw•Sin60 × 15

794.61Cos60 × 4 + 500.31Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw × Sin60 × 15

1589.22 + 1876.163 = 12.99•Nw

3465.383 = 12.99•Nw

Nw = 3465.383 / 12.99

Nw = 266.77 N

Since, Nw = Ff

Then, Ff = 266.77N

the horizontal force exerted by the ground on the ladder is 266.77 N

tino4ka555 [31]
W = F * s
Here, F = 50 N
s = 15 m

Substitute their values, 
W = 50 * 15
W = 750 J

In short, Your Answer would be 750 Joules

Hope this helps!

A trait of an organism that helps it survive in its environment is calles
kompoz [17]
Answer is adaptation. An organism develops a trait over time to help survive in its environment called an adaptation. You could take a giraffe for example. A long time ago giraffes actually had short necks, but now since their food is higher they soon developed a longer neck and this is what we now see in the present. This goes for any artic animal. Polar bears and seals have a white fur adaptation to help them blend in with their environment. A chameleon changes colors in order to hide from predators and sneak up on prey. These are all adaptations

What is the relationship between the atoms of elements,its isotopes and its ions
klasskru [66]
An element refers to a collection of atoms having the same number of protons and electrons (an atomic number). In each element there is a different atomic number due to a different amount of protons in the nucleus.

An isotope is a variation of an element that contains a different number of neutrons, therefore adding weight to the atom.

An ion is a charged atom, and its charge shows how many electrons it needs to gain or lose in order to become stable.
