Answer:

Carbon and oxygen

Explanation:

White dwarfs are the stars which have used all their hydrogen and helium fuel and now exists with only carbon and oxygen in their core. Their size reduces up to one hundredth times of the size of their sun in early stages and yet they possess the same mass.

Due to loss of fuels and impact of gravity, a young star collapses on itself leading to formation of dwarf star.

Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t

fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, $M_O=32$

Molar mass of hydrogen, $M_H=2$

We know ideal gas law as:

$PV=nRT$

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵ $n=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

$PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT$

$P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}$

as: $\frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)$

So,

$P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}$

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

$P_O=P_H$

$\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}$

$\rho_O=16\rho_H$

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

B. 68.6m

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$
