Type-Ia supernovae are probably thermonuclear explosions of accreting white dwarfs that have approached or reached the Chandrase

khar limit. a. Use the virial theorem to obtain an expression for the mean pressure inside a white dwarf of mass M and radius R. b. Use the result of (a) to estimate, to an order of magnitude, the speed of sound, vs = p dP/drho ∼ p P/rho, inside a white dwarf. In an accreting white dwarf with a carbon core that has reached nuclear ignition temperature, a nuclear burning "flame" encompasses the star at the sound velocity or faster. Within how much time, in seconds, does the flame traverse the radius of the white dwarf, assuming R = 104 km, M = 1.4M¯? Note that this soundcrossing timescale is ∼ (Grho) −1/2 , which is also the free-fall timescale (Eq. 3.15.)

Answer:

a. see attachment

b. 2.5 seconds

Explanation:

Chandrasekhar limit:

The Chandrasekhar limit can be seen as the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf star. The currently accepted value of the Chandrasekhar limit is about 1.4 M (2.765×1030 kg).

Using the information above, kindly check attachment for details of the solution.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o

A black hole is a ________
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Answer to the question:

Explanation:

A black hole is a finite region of space within which there is a mass concentration high and dense enough to generate a gravitational field such that no material particle, not even light, can escape it.

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Option D

2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is given by distance/time

The complete wave has a distance of 8 m (This is the wavelength)

Time taken for complete wave is 4 s

Therefore, velocity= 8 m/ 4 s= 2 m/s

The amplitude is the distance between crest and trough hence 9 m- 6 m= 3 m

Frequency is 1/period and in this case period is 4 s hence frequency= 1/4= 0.25 Hz

Essentially, what we wanted is velocity

A barge floating in fresh water (rho = 1000 kg/m^3) is shaped like a hollow rectangular prism with base area A = 550 m^2 and hei
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

When empty , H₀ length of barge is inside water .

volume of barge inside water = A x H₀

Weight of displaced water = AH₀ x ρ x g

Buoyant force = weight of displaced water = AH₀ ρg

B)

It should balance the weight of barge

Weight = buoyant force

Weight = AH₀ ρg

mass of barge = weight / g

weight / g = AH₀ ρ

= 550 x .55 x 1000

= 302500 kg
