A white dwarf in a binary system suddenly flares, but in a few months it settles back to its original luminosity. This process m

Answer:

A Pulsar

Explanation:

Such white dwarf is a Pulsar (from pulsating star). Three main features we find in this kind of celestial body

1. Incredibly high density, in a pulsar there is not what we can define as free interspace. Everything is mass

2.- Huge rotational speed (more than hundreds of kilometer) spinning at more than hundreds of kilometer per second

3.-Intense magnetic field

Combinations of thse features make pulsar emits important amount of energies with pricese periods of time. And if on earth we look a jet of electromagnetic radiation with a precise rigurosity (at pricese period of time) is because we are looking a pulsar spinning and each time the radiation appears is a turn of the pulsar

Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.

A car speed off around a bend at a constant 10m/s explain why it's velocity is not constant
VARVARA [1.3K]
It's velocity is not constant as direction is changing.
 
We know, velocity is speed with direction, so if direction is changing, velocity can't be constant, doesn't matter that speed is constant.

Hope this helps!

there are two slides at the park between which you are deciding. Both start at the height of 6 meter. One is short and Steve whi
kumpel [21]

It doesn't matter.  If the slides are truly frictionless, then
your kinetic energy at the bottom will be equal to the
potential energy you had at the top, no matter what kind
of route you took getting down.
___________________________

The only way I can think of that it would make a difference
would be if the shallow slide were REALLY REALLY long,
and you didn't have anything to eat all the way down. 
Then you might lose some weight while you're on the slide,
and your mass might be less at the bottom than it was at the
top.  Then, in order to have the same kinetic energy at the
bottom, you'd need to be going a little bit faster.

But if it takes less than, say, two or three days, to go down the
long, shallow slide, then this effect would probably be too small
to make any difference.

For a movie stunt, an empty truck with a mass of 2000 kg goes 10 m/s and runs into a stopped car of mass 1000 kg. the truck then
babunello [35]

ANSWER

Both trucks will move together with speed v = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.

EXPLANATION

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two trucks

So here momentum of the two trucks before collision and after collision will remain same

So here we will have

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

so here we will have

v_{1i} = 10 m/s

v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 2000 kg

m_2 = 1000 kg

now we will have

2000\times 10 + 1000\times 0 = (2000 + 1000) v

v = \frac{20000}{3000} = 6.67 m/s

so correct answer will be

The speed of the combined vehicles is less than the initial speed of the truck.
