According to John daltons observations ,when elements combine in a compound

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.

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0 = m*g*h$

As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

A 1560-kilogram truck moving with a speed of 28.0 m/s runs into the rear end of a 1070-kilogram stationary car. If the collision

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Δ KE = 249158.6 kJ

Explanation:

given data

Truck mass M = 1560 Kg

Truck initial speed, u = 28 m/s

mass of car m = 1070 Kg

initial speed of car u1 = 0 m/s

solution

first we get here final speed by using conservation of momentum that is express as

Mu = (M+m) V .......................1

put here value we get

1560 × 28 = (1560 + 1070 ) V

solve it we get

final speed V = 16.60 m/s

and

Change in kinetic energy will be here

Δ KE = $\frac{1}{2} Mu^2 - \frac{1}{2}(M+m)V^2$ .................2

put here value and we get

Δ KE = $\frac{1}{2}\times 1560\times 28^2 - \frac{1}{2}\times (1560 + 1070)\times 16.60^2$

solve it we get

Δ KE = 249158.6 kJ
