Answer:

A very massive main- sequence star

Explanation:

Degeneracy pressure refers to pressure expend by dense material , which is composed of fermions, which is an example of electrons in a white dwarf star. According to Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions can exist in the same quantum state, actually give details about the pressure.

When there is stellar masses that is less than about 1.44 of that of solar masses, there will be gravitational fall in the energy , and the energy will not be sufficient to produce the neutrons of a neutron star, therefore, the fall is abstruptly stopped through the electron degeneracy to form white dwarfs.this result to the creation of an effective pressure that further prevents gravitational fall.

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *

Ganezh [65]

+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.

A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container = 120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, $M_{cu}$ = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, $T_c_u$ = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk $T_A_l$ = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}$

where;

$C_{AL}$ is specific heat capacity of aluminum

$\delta T_{Al}$ is change in temperature of aluminum

$C_c_u$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\delta T_c_u$ is the change in temperature of copper

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!

The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
$0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22$
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.
