In a binary-star system that produces a nova, the white dwarf pulls matter from the companion star. The matter forms an accretio
Studentka2010 [4]

As a head-up, it is important to notice that a white dwarf only shines thanks to the stored energy and light, because a white dwarf doesn't have any hydrogen left to perform nuclear fusion.

Now the process:

First, the white dwarf accumulates all the extracted matter from its companion, onto its own surface. This extra matter increases the white dwarf's temperature and density.

After a while, the star reaches about 10 million K, so nuclear fusion can begin. The hydrogen that has been "stolen" from the other star and accumulated in the white dwarf's surface it's used for the fusion, dramatically increasing the star's brightness for a short time, causing what we know as a Nova.

As this fuel its quickly burnt out or blown into space, the star goes back to its natural white dwarf state. Since the white dwarf nor the companion star are destroyed in this process, it can happen countless of times during their lifespan.

A force of 4 kg weight acts on a body of mass 9.8 kg calculate the acceleration
White raven [17]

Answer:

here given is a weight

then force becomes mg

that is F=Mg

=4*9.8

then by using the formula

F=Ma

a=F/M

=4*9.8/9.8

=4

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N
