C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.
The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.
Answer:
5.01 J
Explanation:
Info given:
mass (m) = 0.0780kg
height (h) = 5.36m
velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s
gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2
1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)
KE = 1/2mv^2
1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J
so KE = 0.91 J
2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)
PE = mgh
(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J
so PE = 4.10 J
3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE
Plug in values for KE and PE
KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
